Meteobridge 6.3 acting as a DHCP server

Hello,

Just to share a strange behavior I've just got with the last meteobridge build 6.3 with an RPI setup

after having upgraded to the last 6.3 build 2 days ago, I've discovered that the meteobridge's RPI was acting as a DHCP server giving it's own IP@ as a DNS server and Default gateway

the fact my local network was really impacted (no DHCP guard protection here), I've quickly rollback to meteobridge 6.2 and did not took any time to troubleshoot anything.

this is why I'm not fully confident with what I'm arguing here

this is just FYI Boris

what I can say is 2 x laptop was impacted after some hours after this upgrade

Regards

I am rather sure that it does not act as a DHCP server when connected ONLY via WLAN or ONLY via LAN with your network, if you do both in parallel (which is not intended) you might have problems.

When you share your Meteobridge network settings I can have a look.

Hi,
I checked with my PRO2 and there is neither a DHCP server process running nor any DHCP server enablement in the settings when I use a static IP address as done in your example setup.

Can you please send content of "/etc/config/dhcp" and output of "ps w" so I can check settings of your RPI.
