I felt bad after I sent that email because I was worried that I sounded mad. I really wasn't annoyed. I understand how this works. :-) I was just asking for information clarification. Thanks for your work, and I'll look forward to the spec. MY STATUS: The reason I asked about changing the IP, is that I am far enough along with my code that I think I've got the basic and most important request negotiation done. However, when I run the program again I get the same IP over and over, even when I change the fake MAC address. I think my particular DHCP server doesn't mark the IP as "assigned" until it actually handles packets using the new IP. However, I can't test this theory without actually changing the OS's IP. If I'm right and that is the only issue, then I have basic DHCP leasing done. And if every DHCP server in the world gave leases with no end time, my work would be done except for integration. That is why I still plan on installing Haiku and doing the rest of my work from it, because most of the development I have left is really integration. That makes me happy. :-) --David
