Chuck, Thanks for the clarifications.
<rant> People don't pay enough attention to the communications infrastructure when they move. If the interwebs are important to you, as they are to most people on this mailing list, they really deserve much more consideration. It is common to assume that we are living in the 21st century. This is sadly not the case, even in parts of Portland, much less many rural areas. </rant> If you want to figure out what is going on, you can install tcpdump on your OpenWrt device and sniff for the DHCP traffic. I've been known to pipe the PCAP data from tcpdump over ssh to a real computer to dissect it with wireshark, e.g. on the OpenWrt device: # tcpdump -s0 -w- [tcpdump options here] | ssh $user@$hostname 'cat > /tmp/diagnostics.pcap' then, after you've captured enough data, back on $hostname: $ wireshark /tmp/diagnostics.pcap -- Russell Senior, President [email protected] _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
