Connection issue on ETH static IP

[iron]

My ESP32 ETH boards work great when on DHCP but can NOT access the web interface when setting them to static IP (even wen on the same subnet / physical)

UDP/ P2P Networking works

Can you also try a later build?

Sounds like an issue we fixed almost immediately after the 'christmas' build.

For example this GitHub Actions build: https://github.com/letscontrolit/ESPEas ... 4031976900

Same behavior in that release as well.

Something is definitely not correct here.
This is after a reset on DHCP ETH

I don't see why that should be an indication something is not right here?

1. I have never seen this on any of my other nodes.

2. This repeats in the logs every few seconds and the web UI becomes unusable for some seconds with great lag

3. This message goes away when on WiFi interface and web UI is as snappy as usual

Code: Select all

This part is related to serving a cached version of the CSS. (http code 304)

This is about you saving something to the settings file, where only the actually changed data is being saved.

This is why I mentioned there is something wrong... none of this should have happened as there is no reason for any of this, yet all that activity is there and repeating

[TD-er]

It seems like there must be some browser is trying to save settings then, as it does show webserver calls, followed by some calls to save settings.

[iron]

Based on your responses all is fine, nothing wrong, no action need to be taken.
I just have to convince the ETH devices of this so they can fix themselves and start behaving the same as when on WiFi

[TD-er]

No I am not convinced all is OK, just that the symptoms you mention are not likely related to issues related to Ethernet stability.
