 Hi

I'm experiencing something very odd with IP address assigned to eth0.
To start, I'm using Slackware64 13.1 current.  I then d/l the current 
snapshot
and tried with similar results.

Dhcpcd appears to retrieve the IP 192.168.1.101,
and establishes a connection.  I am able to connect to internet fine (no 
conflicting IP yet).
However, when I check ifconfig, the IP address is incorrect (keeps using 
last known IP).

I removed the lease files.
I tried cycling my router, but no change.

It appeared after I decided to use a static IP for a bit,
then switched back.  I didnt pay much attention to it,
until my wife started having print issues - the IP keeps refreshing lease
every time the machine is rebooted. This also affects apache as the http
server address has changed.  I was thinking of changing it to static
just to avoid this. (just curious why ifconfig IP is not refreshing)

Are there any cached routing tables?
I was able to repeat it as follows:

> dhcpcd -d -t 10 eth0
> ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.115
> dhcpcd -k eth0
> ifconfig eth0 down
> dhcpcd -d -t 10 eth0

The IP assigned will be the 192.168.1.115, even though dhcpcd leased 
another.
I can connect, resolve, and ping fine - as long as I never encounter 
another IP already used.
Possibility of duplicate IP is high.

Thanks - let me know if you need any other logs to help

Regards
Rich
