DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

Hello,

since about the same time the Gnome Shell 3.10 update arrived I have huge problems connecting to my wlan router at home (Fritzbox 7170). No problems at other locations, no problems at home with different operating systems.

Authentication seems to work fine, but then the DHCP handshake doesn't work. The log sequence of

Okt 24 16:47:17 twenty dhcpcd[7102]: wlan0: soliciting a DHCP lease
Okt 24 16:47:17 twenty dhcpcd[7102]: wlan0: offered 192.168.73.232 from 192.168.73.2
Okt 24 16:47:17 twenty dhcpcd[7102]: wlan0: NAK: via 192.168.73.2

is repeated endlessly, finally timing out:

Okt 24 16:48:57 twenty NetworkManager[1161]: <warn> Connection disconnected (reason -3)

Initially it could get it to connect with commenting out

# require dhcp_server_identifier

in /etc/dhcpd.conf

but now even this doesn't help.

Could this be a hardware issue or am I missing something? Maybe the issue is related to those other current  DHCP questions, but I can't see something in common.

Thanks, erik

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

It seems that I have a similar or the same problem here with a Fritz 7170, but on LAN (not WLAN):

Nov 03 10:24:25 arch64-3.rethmeyers.de dhcpcd[6170]: enp2s0: reject NAK via 192.168.178.1

Any idea to solve this?
This is my - relatively fresh - test system. My arch "prod" system works, but it uses manually edited systemd dhcpcd configuration with "enp2s0@dhcpcd". But I know that the test system worked well on October 5.

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

It seems to be related to activation of "always use the same IP address for this device" in the setup of Fritz 7170. If I switch that off in the Fritz 7170 configuration, dhcpcd works on both systems.

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

I had the same problem and found that dhclient works fine.

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

Thanks for the hints, some days later the problem disappeared without any modifications to my setup (as it was before some months ago).

I'm always trying to spot updates of related packages and to isolate the source, but must have overlooked what could've been responsible. Not easy being no specialist in the interplay of linux network stack components.

@Dieter Thank you for your hint. That did the trick!

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

I can confirm, had the same issue with FritzBox 7390 fw Fritz!OS 06.01
Had to delete the entry on my FritzBox so I got a new IP. After that, I added the entry again with the old IP address and now it works like before. I'm wondering if I have to do this again in a few weeks...

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

I can confirm as well. Deleting the entry in the fritz box (7390, Fritz!OS 06.03) fixes the problem. Once it works, it keeps working even if you check the "always assign same IP address" again. As this started with 6.2.1 (6.1.0 worked), I think something is wrong with dhcpcd 6.2.1, although the corresponding bug (https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38830) was rejected.

Re: DHCP NAK issue (doesn't accept correct IP, finally times out)

Thanks Dieter! Here in 2016 with an Fritz!Box 7360 it already suffices to manually delete the remembered IP address. After that the machine even gets the very same IPv4 address as before (probably due to the machines dhcp lease?).
