How to enable DHCP
 

Hi all,

I'm using uClinux for my embedded device, Right now, I am using linux pc for developemnt of application( c programming). But, people prefer embedded unit to talk to windows based pc. For that i am using socket programming assingning some static IP for the unit. (ex: ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.50). Everything is going fine if the client place has static IPs for their PCs. Now, if the client place is using DHCP, how can i connect my unit in their network.
Can anyone help me
Thanks in advance

Cross over cable?

Saying that, as long as your static IP doesn't cross their DHCP range you'll be ok. You can always ask the onsite administrator to add the devices static IP to their DHCP.

I'm not using croos over cable. Unit is directly connected to the internal network in client place. When out support person went to connect, they have given some IP to be assigned to the unit. We have assigned that IP to unit. The unit is pinging from the PC but when we need to transmit data from PC through socket, the server is not getting connected
