Automatic Private IP Addressing (AutoIP) is enabled by default in Win-
dows Mobile. To remain compatible with other versions of Windows
Mobile, enable this setting. You can configure the registry settings in the
following to set the required AutoIP/DHCP behavior:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISMNDS1\TcpIp
Other registry keys that modify the behavior of AutoIP are as follows. You
can find the appropriate settings and behavior of each of the AutoInterval,
AutoIP, AutoMask, AutoSeed, and AutoSubnet keys in Microsoft Help.
When a TCP/IP client cannot find a DHCP server, it generates an AutoIP
address from the 169.254.xxx.xxx block. The client then tries to check for a
DHCP server every 15 seconds and if a DHCP server is found, the client
drops the AutoIP address and uses the address from the DHCP server.
