Hi, Following my "bug report", I wanted to Clarify and submit a patch: I'm sorry if someone got the wrong impression, I wasn't implying that the client Doesn't EVER get an address from dnsmasq... The problem is that the retries are Causing a Windows XP SP2 client to wait for 30-40 seconds before doing a DHCPDISCOVER Instead of doing it immediately had it received a DHCPNAK.
The attached patch fixes this bug assuming the -K / dhcp_authorative flags were passed to the daemon. Feel free to apply it to dnsmasq-2.22. I'm Simon will have a more correct way of doing this, but this works for me now and I was a little stressed in time :( ---------- Dan Shechter <dans *at* gonetworks.com>
