Summary:A system and method for performing mobile node registration. The system comprises a terminal device (102) for transmitting packetized data, and a wireless communication device (104) coupled to said terminal device for monitoring said packetized data for an Internet Protocol (IP) address contained in an IP address request. The wireless communication device (104) initiates mobile node registration (512) using said IP address if said IP address request is for a static IP address. The wireless communication device prevents (417) the terminal device from sending or receiving packetized data when initiating mobile node registration, and allows said terminal device to send and received packetized data upon completion of mobile node registration. As a result, the mobile node registration occurs transparently to the terminal device, obviating the need for the terminal device to have its own Mobile IP support.
