mDNS seems to work only intermittantly

[stickben]

I have some code that is trying to set up the mdns so that I can refer to my module by name. But I usually I have to reset esp8266 several times before this works.

Usually the sequence goes
1. connect to AP
2. mdns does not work
3. reset
4. mdns works
5. reset
6. mdns works
7. disconnect/reconnect
8. mdns does not work.

I have verified that my pc is getting a valid IP with the correct gateway. Anyone else having this problem?

Code: Select all

NonvolStorageArea *pNonvol;

   if(pMDNSInfo != NULL)
   {
      espconn_mdns_close();
      os_free(pMDNSInfo);
   }

   if(SysStateSetupMode())
   {
      wifi_set_broadcast_if(STATIONAP_MODE);
   }
   else
   {
      wifi_set_broadcast_if(STATION_MODE);
   }

   pMDNSInfo = (struct mdns_info *)os_zalloc(sizeof(struct mdns_info));

   pNonvol = NonvolGetMemoryStore();
   pMDNSInfo->host_name = pNonvol->SystemSettings.ServerName;
   pMDNSInfo->ipAddr = ip;
   pMDNSInfo->server_name = pNonvol->SystemSettings.ServerName;
   pMDNSInfo->server_port = 80;
   espconn_mdns_init(pMDNSInfo);
