Sending the second DISCOVER is default behaviour for dhcpcd, I don't know why. The -S option forces another DISCOVER after OFFER, I don't have that option set. > > > This is an entire log snippet of a failed connection, if you know what > > it going wrong... > > --- > > Dec 28 09:36:14 centurion dhcpcd[162]: sending DHCP_REQUEST for > > 81.83.123.215 to 195.130.132.97 > > Dec 28 10:18:26 centurion dhcpcd[162]: broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for > > 81.83.123.215 > > Dec 28 10:18:26 centurion dhcpcd[162]: DHCP_NAK server response received > > Dec 28 10:18:26 centurion dhcpcd[162]: broadcasting DHCP_DISCOVER > > Dec 28 10:18:27 centurion dhcpcd[162]: broadcasting second DHCP_DISCOVER > > Dec 28 10:18:27 centurion dhcpcd[162]: DHCP_OFFER received from > > (195.130.132.97) > > Dec 28 10:18:27 centurion dhcpcd[162]: broadcasting DHCP_REQUEST for > > 81.83.123.215 > > Dec 28 10:18:28 centurion dhcpcd[162]: DHCP_ACK received from > > (195.130.132.97) > > Looks pretty normal to me.

The DHCP server does not respond to a renewal request, and sends a NAK later on, but offering the same address later. The whole thing causes a connection break off a second, but that is enough to pull Snort down... It turns out now that my ISP has problems with its DHCP servers, another server is sending the NAK then the one where I obtained the address. They're looking in to it, but the don't seem to understand anything about the problem... :-( > > Reinhard -- ______________________________________________________________________ Guy Van Sanden http://unixmafia.port5.com Registered Linux user #249404 - September 1997 ______________________________________________________________________ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
