I have no idea. I'm not going to repeat the bottom line for a third time. A guide to posting questions on CodeProject[^] Dave Kreskowiak Microsoft MVP Visual Developer - Visual Basic      2006, 2007, 2008

no,i didn't find anything useful for me in your article.Thanks anyway...

I think for better job opportunities one should atleast has to be a graduate. Be a good professional who shares programming secrets with others.

yes,i have read it.but i am not getting how i'll create worker threads from the main thread.

Please do not repost.. Regards, Sandip.

I want to implement it using boost.

This is working fine in linux as well But, Did you define the function "baseLinux::bool get()" anywhere? as below: class baseLinux : public Abase { public: virtual bool get(){} } ----- laksh

The IP address is set either using the socket() API with a RTM_NEWADDR message through a RTNETLINK socket, or with the ioctl() API and a SIOCSIFADDR command. DHCP is handled by userspace client programs that set the IP address by one of the previously mentioned APIs.

The DHCP API[^] may help. The IP Helper API[^] has some functions that use DHCP You can always use the protocol[^] directly through sockets. Mark Mark Salsbery Microsoft MVP - Visual C++ :java:

To write code for enabling DHCP using win32 API visit Hp printer support . I am sure that if you know windows programming then you can able to write this code.
