(DHCP) I don't receive REQUEST packet
Hello everyone,
I'm writing a simple DHCP server for a ARM microprocessor.
I directly connected it with a Win PC by an Ethernet cable: the PC acts as a DHCP client.
After some seconds I receive (4!) DISCOVER packet(s).
I reply with OFFER packet where I send an IP.
The server has IP = 192.168.5.201.
It is offering the IP = 192.168.5.202.
This is the Wireshark dump:

Why the client is not requesting the REQUEST packet?
Thanks
Troubleshooting via screen shot is usually an exercise in frustration because the item we want to see isn't shown. Can you upload the capture file to a public share, e.g. Cloudshark, Google Drive, DropBox etc. and amend your question with a link to the capture file?
Let's try with this: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hul5w0h5mnd...
Maybe it is cause the OFFER has destination = broadcast instead of the new IP? Is it yet active?
Better .. it is missing the destination MAC address (broadcast now..), is it?
This capture is not from a DHCP server on an ARM processor, unless Dell is making those. Also the client MAC address in the OFFER is wrong, and there are funny trailing bytes.
