Basically, the time kicks in when you're not using your computer, so if you turn it off now and log back in after the expiration date, it'll expire. If you'd keep your PC on till 2038 it will not expire. If it expires and you turn on your computer, your network card will ask over the network if there are any DHCP servers, this is most likely controlled by your router. Your DHCP server will then most likely supply a new IP address to your computer.
I'm assuming your working behind a router, so you're talking about your local address. |
