Hi all
Well we analyzed the network data with Ethereal. We find that during the
Redboot initialization, the DHCP protocol works fine. The flow is as
follows:
Board DHCP Server
------------ -------------------
DHCP INIT ----->
<----- DHCP OFFER
DHCP REQUEST ----->
<----- DHCP ACK
But during the application image execution, the DHCP phase goes as follows:
Board DHCP Server
------------ -------------------
DHCP INIT ----->
<----- DHCP OFFER
DHCP REQUEST ----->
(TIMEOUT)
DHCP REQUEST ----->
(TIMEOUT)
..
..
..
"BOOTP/DHCP Failed on eth1"
Why could this be happening? We are also including the DNS package while
building our application library. Could this by any chance have any effect?
I have attached the Ethereal capture data for both Redboot and application
DHCP handshakes [PLZ OPEN IN ETHEREAL].

Chandrashekhar Padiyar
