In this case, the DHCP Monitor shows: Settings->Monitor_Interface->LAN1 Status: DHCP Client is not running. The first of the above is as it should be. The second is wrong! i.e., When I display the active tasks [Ctrl-Task_List on eCenter], there, right at the top is: DHCPCD.EXE (82) Methinks DHCPMON is confused! And, it did not work this way a while back. But, I've forgotten when it changed or what I might have done to cause the change. FWIW, the DHCP Monitor is V4.1.
