Re: [lwip-users] FW: Problem with renewing DHCP after link down/up with the new LWIP V2.0.2

[simeon.trifonov]

OK, I have already explanation of my strange problems with the DHCP renew. The problem was, unfortunately, in my code ☹. The stack stores a chained pcbs for all UDP connections. DHCP creates such connection when it is started. But because of my mistake, I brake the chain and I'm losing connection with the pcb, created from the DHCP (the first one that was created after power on). Therefore by renew the stack doesn't find a pcb for port 68. After a small fix in my code all works just fine and it is so simple as it should be.
