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.
