Can you give me any URLs regarding this particular DHCP server? Is its source available somewhere? It seems to be a very stupid behavior to not answer to packets with secs = 0. _Any_ DHCP client starts the discovery by sending them. Basically, dropping them ensures that DHCP works _slower_ than it can. In other words, I am interested to look at DHCP server developer's rationale. -- vda _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
