      WiPy 2
      Updated to the latest firmware.
      The wlan always connects.

      from the command line socket.getaddrinfo('bbc.co.uk', 80)[0][-1] always returns the same result:
      ('1.0.0.0', 80)
      It doesn't matter what hostname is used.
      I have seen references to this before but no resolution. If there is no fix then the wipy will be abandoned

        In the last fw version (1.18) the function "socket.getaddrinfo()" return a random IP if the device is not connected.
        Is this a bug?

          @treanorv have you checked what DNS server your wipy is binding too ?
          This will be part of the DHCP process
