by I am using dhcpcd (v1.3.19-p14) on Mandrake 8.0. When I boot-up and try and
get an IP address from my DSL providers, I see a two offers come back, from
different DHCP servers. It seems to be random which one arrvies first, and
it causes me grief because when I reboot my system I ping-pong between two
different IP address.
Is there any way to configure dhcpcd so that I can reject the offer from one
of the DHCP servers, and hopefully get the same IP address everytime I
reboot? Below is a snippet of the tcpdump:
