Re: [lwip-users] Changed IP address during runtime but TCP PCB stuck time wait state

[Dirk Ziegelmeier]

Ich you listen to an ANY IP address, then rebinding the netconn should not be necessary. Otherwise, check SO_REUSE.

Hi All,

I am doing a webserver that allows users to change device ip address during
runtime (no power reset required).
I've tried 2 ways of doing so:
1. netif_set_addr()
2. netif_remove() and then netif_add() a new interface with the new ip
address

In both methods, I will re-init my http server:
1. netconn_close()
2. netconn_delete()
3. Create a new netconn: netconn_new()
4. Bind to http port: netconn_bind()

Unfortunately, netconn_bind() to port 80 will fail because apparently the
previous pcb bound to port 80 is still there, in time wait state (lwip will
not allow multiple sockets listening to the same port).

How do I make sure the previous pcb is completely deleted or freed?

Thanks
