Hi,

I am trying a Nokia phone utility named WalkingHotSpot, which provides wifi 
access to the phone 3G network. However, something prevents me from getting a 
DHCP address. I have tried snoop and it shows a sequence of DHCP DISCOVER and 
DHCP OFFER messages, but dhcpagent seems not to like the offers. I have found 
the following in /var/adm/messages:

Feb 21 12:49:48 zoetekauwer mac: [ID 435574 kern.info] NOTICE: myk0 link up, 
100 Mbps, full duplex
Feb 21 12:49:48 zoetekauwer in.routed[380]: [ID 749644 daemon.notice] myk0 has 
a bad address 0.0.0.0
Feb 21 12:49:53 zoetekauwer /sbin/dhcpagent[1907]: [ID 142010 daemon.warning] 
compute_points_v4: OFFER without lease time

Feb 21 12:52:56 zoetekauwer /sbin/dhcpagent[1907]: [ID 142010 daemon.warning]

compute_points_v4: OFFER without lease time
Feb 21 13:04:44 zoetekauwer last message repeated 5 times
Feb 21 13:05:47 zoetekauwer /sbin/dhcpagent[1907]: [ID 142010 daemon.warning] 
compute_points_v4: OFFER without lease time
Feb 21 13:12:12 zoetekauwer last message repeated 6 times
Feb 21 13:13:15 zoetekauwer /sbin/dhcpagent[1907]: [ID 142010 daemon.warning] 
compute_points_v4: OFFER without lease time
Feb 21 13:15:21 zoetekauwer last message repeated 2 times

The fact is that it never replies to DHCP OFFER messages and never gets an IP 
address.
I suspect that there is something non-standard or at least non-strict in the 
DHCP implementation of WalkingHotSpot, because I have tried the exact same 
configuration with JoikuSpot, another software for Nokia phones that does 
exactly the same thing and it worked out of the box.
Question is, can I do something configuration-wise to fix this?

Any help appreciated. More info available on demand.

Cheers,
Douglas
