RE: [ECOS] Dynamic IP/DHCP/Routing the 'right way'

Hi,
I should have been more specific. I'm already using the freeBSD stack. 

Thanks			...Laurie:{)

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:) FALL Birahim
