Hi,
I am using NDK 2.0.0 on DM6421. I want to get Hostname from DHCP (option 21) so I configured my DHCP server to provide a predefined hostname to the HW address of my board. To do this I added the:
DHCPOPT_HOSTNAME
to the DHCP request.
Observing what the DHCP server sends to the cliend (Wireshark) I see the desired hostname is sent to the client.
The problem is that the hostname provided by the server is not acquired by the client and
rc = CfgGetImmediate( 0, CFGTAG_SYSINFO, DHCPOPT_HOSTNAME,
1, sizeof(HostnameString), (UINT8 *)&HostnameString );
returns always 0.
This comment I found on the examples suggest the hostname is not set during an DHCP negotiation:
// Note that the DHCP client will erase all CFGTAG_SYSINFO tags except
// CFGITEM_DHCP_HOSTNAME. If the application needs to keep manual
// entries in the DHCP tag range, then the code to maintain them should
// be placed here.
How can I set the hostname provided by DHCP?
