Okay, so then it appears that XWLAN may be having some difficulty determining the IP address already assigned, as Kris has said that the router shows an IP address assigned to the MAC of the card.


Definitely not. You can check this with the "ifconfig lanx" command, XWLAN uses the very same API. IMHO if the DHCP server seems to return something and the client does not get configured, the first wy to go is to activate DHCP logging (see %etc%\dhcpcd.cfg), after that only an IP trace will tell you if anything comes back and really reaches the client

After all it still can bee that due to problems with the IP stack of the driver the DHCP client never sees the response IP package, we had that here on one sysem. After servicing the IP stack the probkem was gone, before that, DHCP worked with the Genprism4, but not woht an older driver from the "Jens Glathe" series.

Good points, Christian. I should have thought farther through this situation.

Kris, could you run "inetver" from the command line and post the results to the list? We may need a stack update (that would be simple, now wouldn't it?). For reference, I'm running close to the latest stack on this ThinkPad:

[C:\]inetver
Version numbers of TCP/IP protocol drivers:
  SOCKETS.SYS: 6.3100
  AFOS2.SYS:   6.3100
  AFINET.SYS:  6.3100

Also, my relevant info from dhcpcd.exe (from MPTS 6.01):

5-21-04  11:11a    256127           0  dhcpcd.exe
