Do they get a dhcp-lease, both cubes ?
Because if that already doesn't work, the cause of that will most likely also be the reason why other clients don't get a lease.

Re: v7.17beta [testing] is released!

If your containers stopped working after upgrade to 7.17, it might not be related to device mode at all.
I never said it was related to device mode.
However it is related to ROS 7.17beta... and that's what this thread is about, no ?

I will troubleshoot this evening.
