DHCP client not working

[Kishore Kumar Kakarla]

Hi,
DHCPv4 client package has been modified to use sockets by defining USE_SOCKETS in site.h of the includes directory so that it works for ppp interface.

Now when I run dhcp client it is sending DHCP DISCOVER messages, server is responding with a new IP address, which is coming to the m/c (tcpdump report) but DHCP client is not taking the address and assigning to the interface.

On the machine I have multiple interfaces. I am running DHCP client on eth1 interface and when I see the tcpdump request I see it is going as 192.168.0.1.68(bootpc) where 192.168.0.1 is IP address of another interface eth0. DHCP server is responding with new IP address.

When I run DHCP client with USE_SOCKETS disabled the request is going as 0.0.0.0.68(bootpc) and server is responding, IP is assigned to eth1 interface.

Could someone let me know the reason why the request is going with 192.168.0.1.68(bootpc) and is this the reason why DHCP client is not accepting IP address for eth1 interface?

tcpdump on client side:
