Re: [lwip-users] BootP

[Bill Lawson]

   I wound up trying to implementing BootP myself, and I've run into a 
problem.  I can make a BootP request, and I get a reply, but I haven't 
been able to actually receive the reply.  I'm using the recv() call to 
retrieve the BootP packet, but recv() never returns.  Looking through 
the debug output it looks as if the BootP packet is being recognized as 
a DHCP packet and sent somewhere else.  Does anyone have any idea how I 
might be able to deal with this?
