Re: Dynamic IP/DHCP/Routing the 'right way'


I suppose you use LWIP stack. At the end of your mail, you write tat you will do the same for DNS, I don't think that LWIP supports DNS. If you want to change IP/gateway... while your programme is running, i think the best way is to use ioctl functions. Most of  ioctl commands are not supported by LWIP. I think you should chose freebsd stack for your project. Of course LWIP is very light and simple to undestand but freebsd is more complete. you have to make a choice:)
