DHCP is used to assign IP addresses to computers joining a network. Many ISPs use DHCP to give their customers IP addresses. When DHCP assigns you an IP address, or sends you a "DHCP certificate," it "leases" the IP address to you for a period of time. When this lease runs out, the DHCP certificate becomes "stale," and you must request a new one. Usually your computer will do this automatically and you won't even know it happened. This terminology is a bit strange. I can guess what you mean by a "stale" DHCP "certificate" but I'm not sure that everyone would. It sounds like something that someone made up. I could be wrong. -DJ Craig
