Hi all,
This is Parag Goswami an undergraduate student of Computer science ane Engineering.Well my question is that suppose we have ad hoc network in which all nodes are connected through access points and these access points are connected to a main Gateway. This gateway may also a part of some bigger system.Now if a new node  (mobile) enters the system. Now this new node has to be connected through all the other nodes on this system through access points and the gateway.All nodes contact each other through a message passsing protocol. My question is :
 
1. Does all the nodes in the network has a particular IP before this node enters  
    the system ?
    
2. If the above holds true that once this new node is detected and enters the 
    system then do we need any autoconfiguration mechanism for IP of nodes in 
    the system or How this configuration is done ?
 
Look forward to hear from you guys.
Thanks for the time.
 
Best Regards,
Parag Goswami
