Question:
What is the DHCP Daemon?
Answer:
In Symbian OS v7.0s the functionality to support connection to the DHCP was embedded in the ethernet device driver. At that
time the LANSERVICE entry to support DHCP was as below (without the text in blue, with the text in red).
In version 8.0 the code for providing DHCP services was pulled out of the driver so that it could be available for other
bearers (e.g. IP over bluetooth). The Daemon services are accessed by adding the text in blue to the LANSERVICE entry.
[LANSERVICE]
# COMMDB_ID = 1
Name=Ethernet
IfNetworks=ip,ip6
IpNetMask=0.0.0.0
IpGateway=0.0.0.0
IpAddrFromServer=TRUE
IpAddr=0.0.0.0
IpDNSAddrFromServer=TRUE
IpNameServer1=0.0.0.0
IpNameServer2=0.0.0.0
FIELD_COUNT=9
ConfigDaemonManagerName=ConfigDaemonManager
ConfigDaemonName=DhcpServ
FIELD_COUNT=11
END_ADD
Note that the Symbian CommDB Editor with wizards (downloadable from the Symbian developer network) can be used to validate that your CommDb is correct for each Symbian OS
version.
