How weird.
One feels there ought to be a simple snitch to switch that behaviour 
off, somewhere on the router
Or that if you use static address outsoide the DHCP range that should 
work too

Well, yes and no..

Its all a bit Putin-like in its centralised state control...:-)

Are you *that* strapped for cash?

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will 
eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such 
time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic 
and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally 
important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for 
the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the 
truth is the greatest enemy of the State.
