This is a classic race condition. There's really nothing to be done about it other than always power up router, AP, and devices needing DHCP IPs in that order.
In addition, many routers honor a lease if it is the same as a previous one - and most devices (including PCs) that use DHCP addressing will try and get the last address they had. I reboot my router a lot while testing security tweaks and my devices NEVER need to acquire a new IP lease. I'm thinking your router and/or AP may be unusual in this, OR you just hit a particular combo of timing that jammed up the works that you'll never see again. -- gcurrie -Gordon Squeezebox Server 7.4.2 + HP MediaSmart EX485 Duet Squeezeplay on all PCs ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gcurrie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=31389 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=71066 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
