The . operator in C is used to access fields of a struct directly. For example:

struct netif myNetif;
variable = netif.ip_addr;

the -> operator in C is used to access fields of a struct via a pointer to the struct. For example:

struct netif *myNetif;
variable = netif -> ip_addr;

Try declaring ``struct netif *netif'' instead of ``struct netif netif''.

Cheers,
Chris

When I try: netif->ip_addr.addr I get the following error:
error: invalid type argument of `->'

I've declared netif like this: struct netif netif;

I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to pointers, whenever I think I understand
them, they stop working!

I'm also not sure how to check the dhcp state...

Thanks,

Aidan
