Is there any working DHCP server (serve ip addresses, not receive!) for Arduino? Googled like hell and I tried several projects but didn't get any of them running or working, even after some hours of changing the source.
I have experienced with Arduino but not with networking at all.
I use EtherMega from freetronics with a WIZnet, which should be compatible with Arduino Ethernet shield.
I'd like to know more about this project where you want the Arduino to return IP addresses based on a supplied host name. Where is it supposed to get that information?
Couldn't compile, tried a lot. Think has something to do with changes in Arduino version 1.0 and Client <-> EthernetClient.
What errors did you get? What did you try to do to resolve them?
Same her, please explain better what you want to achive. My suspicion is - given your own statement that you don't have networking experience - you are looking at this a bit backwards
The devices most commonly runnig DHCP servers are routers that sit somewhat in the middle of everything and route IP packets to their approproate destination. These destinations are usually End-devices (for lack of a better name) like an Arduino. There are libraries the implement DHCP clients on an Arduino.
Okay, I have a little experience with networking and Arduino, but not both together. Downplayed a little bit
My intention: I have a sensor which I would like to read out over TCP/IP or UDP. This is an easy task, there are plenty of examples. But I don't want to set my IP address fix on my notebook, this is inconvenient and annoying. So I can just add a $20 WiFi router and my problem is solved, but I don't like the idea to use an (big) additional device just for DHCP'ing, because I want to carry around this sensor. I known, a WiFi shield could be an option too.
So I would like to plug in my network cable, get an IP address and read out my sensor data with my windows-/mac-application (IP address of my Arduino DHCP server is fix).
Unfortunately, I have deleted all changed projects. DHCPLite looks very good but I had to rewrite the RedFly stuff and use 'default' Ethernet/UDP and failed. (Ethernet.h, EthernetUDP.h)
I take a look again and post the code here with my problems.
