Basically, same results.

1) TOP show DHCPCD running as Task 77
2) Killed DHCPCD
3) Ran CMD to restart WiFi connection on LAN1
3) TOP says DHCPCD running as Task 109
4) Closed DHCPMon and Restarted it.
5) The three status lines:
   DDNS host name:  Not Registered
   IP address:      Not Configured
   Status:          DHCP client is not running
6) Display:  Configuration->Current_configuration
   ====>  Totally blank

As I said, this did work up until a couple of months ago.  The main
piece of info that I want displayed is my IP address.

THANKS for the suggestions.

I just run the script again to activate the interface. I, too, get the "DHCP Client is not running" message. It's probably a timing thing, where we kill off the one instance but need to insert a do nothing loop (or a few of them) to wait long enough before we try to start it up again. The problem is probably more noticeable with the faster machines than it might have been some years ago, but I never ran this stuff on the older hardware (ThinkPad 360-era).

I'll see if I can experiment with this before Warpstock (read: this weekend), and even touch on it during my workshop.

Run TOP the next time and see whether DHCPCD may be exiting. Or, kill it    

>from TOP and then run the script. See what you get.

Lewis,
I don't think that's my problem...

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.

Carl, I've found that when that issue occurs, I simply wait a bit, and then re-start DHCPMON. Eventually, it gets the idea that the interface it previously accessed is no longer there, and gets the new information. Bug? Probably. I haven't seen it overly persistent, however.

Lewis,

In the set of commands you show below [I use them almost verbatim.],
there is the command that stops the DHCP Monitor.  [ dhcpmon -t ]

BUT, I have had problems trying to get the monitor back so it will
display the status, config, etc., of the newly started LAN1.  I've
tried specifying:
dhcpmon -i LAN1
but this seems to do absolutely nothing.

Can this be done?  What, if anything, am I missing?

TIA,
Carl
