Thank you for your response! Got me thinking about releasing the IP address from the Windows machine; in the end, I found instructions here: <a href="https://superuser.com/questions/470585/how-to-force-windows-7-to-ask-for-a-fresh-ip-address-from-dhcp-server">https://superuser.com/questions/470585/how-to-force-windows-7-to-ask-for-a-fresh-ip-address-from-dhcp-server</a> on
how to force Windows not to request an IP address from the DHCP server (Dnsmasq honours that).</div>

<br>
i think you have to release the address, first... something so that the VM won't <br>
try to request the last address it had... if it requests a valid address that is <br>
not in current use, it will be allowed and accepted IIUC...<br>
<br>
in the past we've renumbered the network addresses so the old numbers were not <br>
valid which forced the assignment of a new address which was the desired <br>
effect... when we renumbered the addresses, we basically just changed the 3rd <br>
octet...<br>
<br>
eg: 192.168.0.*/24 -> 192.168.100.*/24<br>
<br>
maybe you can do something similar to reach your desired objective?<br>
