Shorten the DHCP client acquring network address time

Dear Expert,
I would like to ask how to shorten the DHCP client acquiring network address
time when no DHCP available in Windows XP?

My network no DHCP server, and the Windows XP client ent enable DHCP
function, now it take 1 minutes, then the NIC time out and assign
169.254.x.x IP, I want to shorten the 1 minutes to around 5 second, I try to
search whether can be confgured in registry, but I can't, please help.

Thanks/KEN

Hello lywwing,

You have to change this key, i think:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\<Adapter Name>\Parms\Tcpip AutoInterval : REG_DWORD

Default setting is 300. This value specifies the time interval, in seconds,
used to verify if a DHCP server is available to configure adapter settings
for a device, for example, IP Address, SubnetMask, default gateway, DNS and
WINS servers.

Best regards

Dear Meinolf,
The registry key doesn't find in Windows XP, is it for Windows CE?
Does it have similar setting in Windows XP?

Thanks/KEN

Hello lywwing,

Sorry, didn't realize that it was CE.

What about disabling APIPA? Or do you use it?

For Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003, APIPA can be disabled
by adding the "IPAutoconfigurationEnabled" DWORD registry entry with a value
of 0x0 to the following registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\Tcpip\Parameters\Interfaces\<Adapter
GUID>
Note The Adapter GUID subkey is a globally unique identifier (GUID) for the
computer's LAN adapter.

Specifying a value of 1 for IPAutoconfigurationEnabled DWORD entry will enable
APIPA, which is the default state when this value is omitted from the registry.
