One of those days that lead me to believe that the Amish might actually have something there...

get to work,
SOMETHING is wrong with all the classroom virtual machines
Email server is down.

and i'm greeted this morning by a work order that says simply:
Needs new IP address for laptop. Needs before 11:00.
that's THE ENTIRE FREAKIN WORK ORDER.*

O_o

..... maybe they aren't happy with the ip address they have? perhaps they used that one all up and it's getting too hot so now they need another one? maybe they would like one that has their birthday in it?
i have to check to see if we charge extra for "personalized" ip addresses. if it doesn't cost too much i wanna get 10.4.20.75

(i wonder if you have to renew it every year...)
(now i have to go around searching for what the ACTUAL PROBLEM is... i bet you a million gazilion dollars it has nothing to do with an ip address.)

It's a token ring network. If you want a new IP, you need to bring us the token with the old IP, so we can exchange it.
