Original description

With the new Arduino 1.0 Ethernet library with the DHCP client included, if your DHCP server returns more than one DNS server address for use it fails to parse the remainder of the DHCP response correctly.

This often results in the Ethernet chip not being configured correctly (which can sometimes be spotted if the netmask and/or gateway IP address are set to 0.0.0.0) and the Arduino won't be able to communicate over Ethernet

Very interesting! I research this problem since days. On Wireshark I see that the DHCP ACK goes back to 0.0.0.0 And I could not explain why. How can I check if my DHCP server returns more than one IP?

Any solutions @cmaglie ?
