Client gets wrong IP since dhcpcd 4.0.0 [SOLVED]

Hi,

I've set up my netgear router to assign IP 192.168.0.2 to my gentoo client by configuring this IP for the given MAC. Since dhcpcd 4.0.0 this doen't work anymore, the client gets other IPs like 192.168.0.4 assigned, which are from the IP range that I configured for dynamically IP assigment. I can see in the routers adminstration web interface that the correct MAC address is sent to the router.

Here's my /etc/conf.d/net

I had a similar problem a while ago and the easiest fix for me was to stick with version 3.1.5-r1. I understand there were some changes after that that made it follow the newest "standard" more closely but broke with some older servers.

You question made me look at this again and it seems the -r option may be needed on the newer versions.

For dhcpcd-3.x upwards, -r means "request address" not enable an old RFC

As to the problem posted by the OP, try removing /etc/dhcpcd.duid
If that fails, emerge dhcpcd without the compat USE flag.
Let is know if this works!

With dhcpcd-4, you should NOT need this

Thanks UberLord, removing /etc/dhcpcd.duid and the -I config option solved the problem!
