Automatic Client Configuration in Windows CE

You might be familiar with DHCP, in which a server dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. But you might not be aware that Windows CE has a fall-back, automatic IP address assignment scheme if a DHCP server is not available.

In short, this feature assigns the device an address of 169.254.0.0 and a subnet of 255.255.0.0 if a DHCP server doesn't respond. If that address is already taken, CE tries up to ten other addresses within the 169.254.xx.xx subnet.

You can read more about this feature on MSDN at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/wcecomm/htm/_wcesdk_Automatic_Client_Configuration.asp
