I have an application that is IP dependent and we are having some issues with DHCP on the network. I tried to use the reg key that you would use in XP/2000 to tell Windows not to auto generate an IP (169.254.x.x) so that CE wouldn't have any IP until it actually gets one from DHCP however it didn't work.

The key is "IPAutoconfigurationEnabled"=dword:0 however the setting doesn't seem to take on CE. Does anyone know if it does actually work and where I need to put it to have it take?

I can work around it by being smart about 169.254.x.x IPs however it limits them from being used in the DHCP range unless I check further to see if it's an DHCP IP or auto generated.

It looks like the key might be "AutoCfg" for CE 4.2. Take a look at the link that Weiming updated at topic 934.

Let us know if this works!
