[Dnsmasq-discuss] Missing DHCPNAKs

Gyorgy Farkas obtained a packet capture which confirmed my theory that 
Win XP forces its DHCP client into REBINDING state when it sees loss of 
carrier on a  network interface.


I've prepared another release candidate for dnsmasq 2.23 which takes 
this into account and generates appropriate DHCPNAKs. Please could 
people with an interest in this check it out and get back to me? Once 
this issue is proved then I think 2.23 is good to go.

Cheers,

Simon.
