Issue when changing IP address from Static to DHCP

Hi,

I have a board with a PXA270 chip which has a Win CE 5.0 image loaded on it.
When booting, the board is given a static IP address of 192.168.0.21 (or
something like that). I can open up Platform Builder and use Remote Registry
Editor to edit the registry (the device is connected to my dev PC via
ActiveSync on a USB cable). I can run a client application written in c# - it
basically connects to a server running on my dev PC and plays "TCP packet
tennis" by sending an object to the server and the server echoes it, and then
the client echoes it and so on...

I then needed to set up file sharing on the device. I couldn't do this with
the static ip for some reason, so i decided to change the it to a dhcp ip
address. This gave it an ip of 10.10.0.xxx, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0,
and gateway 10.10.0.yyy. I was able to access the "Windows CE Remote
Management Tool" using IE on my dev PC. I gave permission to share the flash
drive and the \Windows folder. I then typed \\10.10.0.xxx on my browser and
it worked but it took forever to load. When i browse the shared folders, they
too take a long time to load - it's very inconvenient and not very feasible
to be put out in the field. I then tried running my app - it ran but it
didn't work as nicely as before - it kept receiving packets in segments... I
then tried running the Remote Registry editor again and it wouldn't work.
Sometimes it would load, but i could browse the main keys. Other times it
wouldn't even load.

I then decided to change the ip address back to the static version and
everything worked fine except for file sharing. What is going on here? Thanks
in advance.
