I don’t want to submit this as a bug until others voice their
ideas based on their knowledge of
DHCP and agree
that it is.
I have built
lwIP with DHCP enabled. I’m
running in a static IP mode – meaning dhcp_start wasn’t called and netif_set_ipaddr is called with an address. I have
done this and connected on a network (with a DHCP server) that had a PC already at the same DHCPP assigned address as the static lwIP address. I get the duplicate IP address
bubble from Windows XP. A few seconds later when I query my lwIP device to get its IP address, it has been
changed to another
IP address.
I would expect
without calling dhcp_start that my device’s IP address would not change. It won’t communicate, sure, but I don’t expect it to be changed so that it can communicate unless I had called dhcp_start. I do not know what happens if the
PC is turned on second. I can check that as well, but I think already the current behavior is not what it should be.
Thanks,
Bill
