Mobile-IP and the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) are two protocols which are likely to be implemented together for use with wireless computers. We explore the ways that they can be used with in mobile computers. These protocols interact in subtle ways, presenting a system architect with a variety of trade-offs that need careful analysis. We detail the important interactions and system design issues, and also explain the design and implementation of a new DHCP option for mobile computers. The difference between mobility and portability is explained; this paper only emphasizes approaches for mobility. We explore implementation issues that we have encountered.
