I wonder if there is any way to get information about failed dhcp process? I need to start dhcp, and if it's not succeeded, disable dhcp and use a default local ip (case of a direct connect to a pc). I understand, that i can monitor local ip, but is there a better way? Also when dhcp is not succesful, the mcb2300_debug complains that retransmit timeout is too big.
Thanks, Gennady
Actually I have a similar requirement to "fall back" to a fixed IP address if DCHP negotiation fails. This is the scenario:
1. The device can be connected to a network with a dhcp server. It is expected to negotiate an address with no user intervention.
or...
2. The device is connected to a PC using an ethernet crossover cable. The PC has been configured with a static IP address. It expects to find the device at a well known IP address (say, 192.168.0.1). This is similar to the configuration scheme for many dsl routers.
