Using Static IP mode

Personally, I like to do a dhcp_release prior to switching over to static IP mode since it always tries to acquire a DHCP address once you’ve defined USE_DHCP. You can step through and see what dhcp_release and then ifconfig return and see if there are any errors when you are trying to configure things. If you had a packet sniffer setup, you would be able to see the Rabbit announce itself to the network and know what IP address it was using.

Perhaps its the way I'm initializing the Rabbit for
Static IP mode.

This is my initialization code:

#define IFCONFIG_ETH0 \
        IFS_DOWN,     \
        IFS_DHCP, 0,  \
        IFS_IPADDR,   static_ip_adrs, \
        IFS_NETMASK,  net_mask init_enet()
{
   if( first_time )
      ifconfig(  IF_DEFAULT,
                 IFS_DHCP,    0,
                 IFS_IPADDR,  static_ip_adrs,
                 IFS_NETMASK, net_mask,
                 IFS_END );

      first_time = 0;
   else {  // Do this 5-seconds later..
     pd_havelink( 0 ){
       if ( use_dhcp ) {
         // do DHCP init
       }
       else {
          ifconfig(  IF_DEFAULT,
                     IFCONFIG_ETH0,
                     IFS_UP,
                     IFS_END );

       }
     }
   }
}
