Hi, Maybe it's a very simple question. I'm trying to write a dhcpclient code with python. The dhcpclient does not have ip address at the very beginning, it sends out dhcpdiscover and then server sends back dhcpoffer. the dhcpoffer will use assigned ip as destination ip, but that ip is not client's local ip yet. How can I make my socket to receive that packet?
I tried socket bind to 0.0.0.0, but it only binds to any local ip, not any ip which may not be local. therefore the socket cannot get that dhcp offer packet even I can use wireshark to see that packet did come to this pc. How to solve it? Thanks in advance. Rgds, Hans -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
