I hope to find some help here. 
Thanks in advance already for some help.

I have a esp32 board as a Client with a static ip-address. 
The Client with the static ip-address connects to a second esp32 that is acting as a Access Point. The connection is established and the Access Point recognize the new connected device. The problem is, with the Client having the static ip-address the Access Point displays the Client ip as 0.0.0.0. If the Client as the ip-address not set as static, the Access Point displays the correct ip-address.

Follows the code for the Client:

```
#include <WiFi.h>

const char* ssid = "ESP32-AP";
const char* password = "123456789";
IPAddress ip(192, 168, 0, 101);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 0, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.mode(WIFI_STA);

  // Configure the static IP address
  WiFi.config(ip, gateway, subnet);

  WiFi.begin(ssid, password);

  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(500);
    Serial.print(".");
  }

  Serial.println("");
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi network");
  Serial.println("IP address: ");
  Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
}

void loop() {
   static long general_t1 = 0;
  if (millis() - general_t1 > 2000)
  {
    Serial.println("IP address: ");
    Serial.println(WiFi.localIP());
    general_t1 = millis();
  }
}
```

Follows the code for the Access Point:

```
#include <Arduino.h>
#include <WiFi.h>
#include "esp_wifi.h"
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Wire.h>
#include <Adafruit_GFX.h>
#include <Adafruit_SSD1306.h>

#define SCREEN_WIDTH 128
#define SCREEN_HEIGHT 64

#define OLED_RESET -1
Adafruit_SSD1306 display(SCREEN_WIDTH, SCREEN_HEIGHT, &Wire, OLED_RESET);

const char *ssid = "ESP32-AP";      // SSID Name
const char *password = "123456789"; // SSID Password - Set to NULL to have an open AP
const int channel = 10;             // WiFi Channel number between 1 and 13
const bool hide_SSID = false;       // To disable SSID broadcast -> SSID will not appear in a basic WiFi scan
const int max_connection = 5;       // Maximum simultaneous connected clients on the AP

IPAddress local_ip(192, 168, 0, 1);
IPAddress gateway(192, 168, 0, 1);
IPAddress subnet(255, 255, 255, 0);
