NAS reports "No IP Address" on FP after 6.6.1 Upgrade

Opened case 27889201, but posting here for others' benefit in case someone else bumps into this.

 

After upgrade to 6.6.1 NAS fails to retrieve (or even request) DHCP address.

    From your case it appears that disabling a static reservation in your DHCP server enabled the NAS to pickup an I.P. and it came up fine.

      And yet after re-instating the static mapping it continued to do so. So it really does make one wonder why it behaved this way in the first place. What was most curious is that there wasn't even a DHCP /request/ received by the router. Very odd indeed. But the case is closed at this point. I just wish there was a clearer understanding of the cause, but I'm not entirely convinced it was soley the NAS'es issue.
