which options do I have to determine a suitable IP address for a new
device on the network?
Constraints:
- new device shall get a IP address
- process shall be as automatic as possible
- my application shall learn the IP address of this particular
device, as other nodes on the net normally are not interesting
- it has to work in corporate networks as well as for standalone
Windows XP/7 etc. PCs which normally don't have a DNS/DHCP server
Is there any way to accomplish this? Any ideas? Which technologies do
exist? (I think to already know the answer: no, but maybe something
turns up)
DHCP is the way to go.
There no way to know an IP is not used: his owner may be powered off at the
time you test.
