Thanks for your detailed explainations.

Excuse me, I don't fully understand this. I think I need a pointer that
can memorize the current node of the DHCP list so that each time
getNext..function can get the next DHCP node. That's also the reason I was
confused how can I pass both lpDhcpEntry and lpIpRangeEntry from
getfirstIpRangeContext to the getnextIpRangeContext via a single
*loopContext. So I used the *dataContext to take the lpDhcpEntry pointer
and *loopContext to take the other one.

That is so right.
