What's happening is that the registration is recorded immediately in the database, but we have to actually restart the DHCP service to activate the new registrations. That happens on a once per two minute cycle (as needed). So if you try to release/renew your IP before the time is up, you'll still get an unregistered IP and be forced to the registration page, despite being properly registered. I can't say exactly what might have happened to cause the "Registration failed" message to appear. That indicates an SQL error, which means that the registration either didn't make it into the database, or was already there. Perhaps your browser submitted the "Accept" request more than once?
