is the Scenario, a student who has 2 mobile phones (1 android and the other
blackberry) both wireless enabled, one laptop, and one ipad ;)
By default, he/she turns the wireless features at intermediates, but the
fact is they never remember to turn one off before switching to another.
Even if they did turn off one for the other, depending on the lease time in
use on your network, their is almost a 90% assurance that the newly turned
on device will not be assigned the IP of the former device hence a new IP
will be required.
