I have a Linux machine that uses dhcpcd for DHCP requests. Computer is always up and connected to the network. DHCP server at my ISP is a bit faulty - it's not available for a long periods of time, I don't know why, maybe it's power failure, or network failure, either way its not under my control. This is probably the cause that Linux machine from time to time is left only with loopback 127.0.0.1 address, i.e. there is no another address in /sbin/ifconfig output. Performing bind() to an old IP from C applications fails. I suppose that lease renew time has came, no DHCP server answered and dhcpcd shut down eth0. On the other side, Windows machine that is connected to the same hub and configured with DHCP continues to have a valid (old) IPs. I can surf, telnet and happily perform any network activities as usual. How can you explain this ? Maybe it's my faulty configuration of dhcpcd ? But there is no configuration file for this one and I can not use command line options because it get called from binary /sbin/ifup...
