[resolved] Guruplug not getting its IP address from my router

[velo_love]

Hi,

I am just starting to play with my heater  following some posts in the forum but I have some problems with the IP address.

I set my router (running DD-WRT) so it should give a static IP to my Guruplug (association between the Guruplug eth0 MAC and the IP). I already do this for my PC and my laptop and it works. But it fails with my Guruplug Server+.

The original /root/init_setup.sh file is fully disabled (all lines are commented).

This is my /etc/network/interfaces file:

Code:

auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp

When I run dhclient, I have:

Code:

There is already a pid file /var/run/dhclient.pid with pid 2251
killed old client process, removed PID file

DHCPACK from 192.168.1.1
bound to 192.168.1.107 -- renewal in 49 seconds.

As a result, I got the IP @ 192.168.1.107 while I expect 192.168.1.12 as defined in my router for the Guruplug MAC @ 00:50:43:01:8f:6c.

Any ideas? 

Thank you for your support and best regards.

the initial setup of the heater (yeah! i like this one) is bad. If i remember correctly, it is running a local dhcpd and ifplugd.

Ifplugd is interessting if you move the plug around a lot while it is running. Makes sense? No! so remove it. And as the plug is not your main dhcp server, remove the dhcp server also

Code:

heater:~ update-rc.d -f ifplugd remove
 Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/ifplugd ...
heater:~ update-rc.d -f udhcpd remove
 Removing any system startup links for /etc/init.d/udhcpd ...

if you completely disable the init_setup.sh you might better just comment out the call in /etc/rc.local

Yes, indeed, that did the trick! Thank you very much for your support.

I almost disabled the init_setup.sh file: I only keep the line to switch on the "health" LED
