Hi
I am debugging the DHCP implementation of an embedded board. It should
receive its address from a ZyXEL P-661HW-D3 ADSL router. Using wireshark,
I can see that my board starts the DHCP-process, but I can not see any
answer of the ZyXEL to my boards requests. The funny thing however is,
that the debugging output of my board reports receipt of such an answer -
only to drop it because it claims a checksum error. This explains why the
DHCP process is not successful, but it does not explain why I do not see
this packet on wireshark. I have used filters of various kind - including
inspection by eye, packet for packet. This packet the board reports is not
in the list of captured packet of wireshark.
The topology of my LAN is as follows:
Zyxel___Planet switch___Planet switch ____ myboard
FSD 1600 FSD 800 |____PC #1 running wireshark
|____JTAG debugger
|____PC #2
Does the switch play a dirty trick? Unlikely, because I see the packets
from my board and all those other packets going to/from the PC and JTAG
debugger. And the DHCP-process for the two PCs was successful. Thanks for
advice.
Robert
