We’ve got a wierd problem with the QNX 4.25 / TCP/IP 4.25 dhcp.client:
It’s running mad, when it is used in a certain environment
(Netware 5.1). Here’s a small snippet from the syslog file:
Feb 11 13:07:31 node<<1>> dhclient: DHCPACK from 0:80:ad:91:da:f9

As you can see, it’s requesting new addresses hundreds of time in a
second. If I use the Neutrino or a Linux DHCP client on the same
machine, everything’s OK. Also other DHCP servers are OK.
The only special thing about ths installation is: the lease time is
infinite (0xFFFFFFFF or 4294967295). Can this be a problem?
I tried with and without the ‘-b’ option, no difference. I tried
a lot of other options ( … and combinations) , too.
Any hints?
TIA,
Karsten.

Here’s also a part of the logfile from the server side,
which looks perfectly OK for me:
