Free DHCP app for PPC2002

lincomatic · 04-29-2002

ok here's my contribution to the stumbling community. it's a quick hack i put together to let u release/renew DHCP with an app instead of Today plugin. thanks to nirosys for the inspiration. i'll be adding static ip swapping support when i get more time...too busy w/ my real job at the moment.

it only works on PocketPC 2002 (ARM). This version assumes u have MFC dll's installed. if anyone has trouble w/ it let me know and i'll post a static link version.

also i can upload a Win32 version for anyone who is interested, although there is already support in Win32 in the form of ipconfig/winipcfg.

btw, the DHCP renew API in CE returns instantly even though you haven't been granted the new IP number yet, so I can't delay the display refresh until it updates w/ a new IP (i'll fix this in a later version). so for the time being, you need to hit the Refresh button repeatedly until you see the new IP in the list

What are the MFC dlls? I think I need them (it?).

lincomatic · 05-03-2002

are you using Pocket PC2002? the dhcp functions i am using aren't available in previous versions. what error msg did u get?
anyway, i think this is the only dll u need for MFC. just download and unzip

http://www.geocities.com/lincomatic/mfcce300.zip

and put the mfcce300.dll in your \windows directory. let me know if u still have problems.

sorry geocities didn't like the last link i uploaded. go to

http://www.geocities.com/lincomatic

and then click on the "MFC CE300 DLL" link instead.

Well, I do have that file....but I have an old one and the only way I can see it is through my PC but it's locked when I try to access it. From my IPAQ, the file doesn't show up in the Windows directory so I can't try it before I connect. I tried renaming the file while connected over IP and over USB with the same results.

Is there any way to get to a command prompt or something like that with these things?

lincomatic · 05-03-2002

jerry,
ok, i just looked into the doc's. turns out the MFC runtimes are preloaded in PocketPC 2002. The reason it's locked is because it's in ROM on your machine.

so what error are you getting?

jerryshenk · 05-03-2002

when I tried to start the program, it says "Cannot find PocketDHCP (or one of it's components).....".

lincomatic · 05-03-2002

what model machine are you using? are you sure it's running PPC 2002?

I am running Pocket PC 2002 on an iPAQ 3765. Its working great. Thanks again and keep up the great work.

Sweet!

Now for the whining...

For something that uses up so little screen real estate, I would have made it a much smaller box similar to some of the pop-ups that WinCE 3.0 uses. However, I am not a coder

future version is going to list dhcp server address, netmask, gateway, lease time, etc etc etc...don't worry the screen will be full.
