Thanks, that was fast! I've now updated the DHCP client to also take 
the renewal/rebinding times into account; but VMware's leases are 
really very short lived (or is that your router?)

That's a known bug, IIRC it's already in the bug database.

It looks like the Mozilla porters went their own ways, and might cause 
compatibility problems with the Haiku implementation of the Be classes. 
We might need to adapt Mozilla for working properly on Haiku as well 
(of course, the potential bugs on the Haiku side should be fixed first) 
:-)

I actually didn't test the network heavily yet, there probably are lots 
of remaining problems to be fixed.
