Simulator / Vista PC Help

[MQ]

Hello,

I am trying to get the simulator running.

(1) I can build and execute using Visual Studio 8.0
(2) I connect two laptops together using crossover cable

Computer that is by itself
PCNumber1 - IP 192.168.2.70
Subnet Mask 255.255.254.0

Computer with the simulator running
IP 192.168.2.3 changed and rebuilt
Subnet Mask 255.255.254.0


My problem is that the LED's do not indicate a connection on the simulator GUI, I am selecting the proper NIC through the LAN pull-down too. I also configured the IPV4 settings of the NIC running on the PC with the simualtor to 192.168.2.71 with subnet 255.255.254.0

Can anyone help me out here.

I also have my wireless running on the machines with different IP 192.168.0.x

Regards,

Mark

Hi Mark

The simulator LEDs do not indicate a connection - they blink only when the simulated device sees Ethernet traffic (red when it is sending and green when it has received something).

You can use the simulator using just one PC, although any other PC on the network will also be able to contact it.

Since your network is 192.168.2.x make sure that you have set the project to use an address in the same sub-net - in application.c make sure that the default IP is something like 192.168.2.50 (eg.) and its mask is 255.255.254.0.

Then send a ping from any PC so see that the simulator is responding (when simulator is running):
"ping 192.168.2.50".

Beware that the simulated device is seen by all PCs (the PC running it, or any other on the network) as an additional device, with its own IP and MAC address. Don't set the PC's NIC up to use the same settings as the simulator otherwise it will not work.

There are a couple of Vista related (possible) difficulties - these are discussed here:

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the response

This is my application.c

// The application is responsible for defining the IP configuration - here are the default settings
static const NETWORK_PARAMETERS network_default = {
    (AUTO_NEGOTIATE | FULL_DUPLEX | RX_FLOW_CONTROL),                    // usNetworkOptions - see driver.h for other possibilities
    {0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00, 0x00},                                // ucOurMAC - when no other value can be read from parameters this will be used
    { 192, 168, 2, 3 },                                                  // ucOurIP - our default IP address
    { 255, 255, 254, 0 },                                                // ucNetMask - Our default network mask
    { 192, 168, 0, 1 },                                                  // ucDefGW - Our default gateway
    { 192, 168, 0, 1 },                                                  // ucDNS_server - Our default DNS server
};

I still do not get a ping response,  it seems I need to have a second computer connected to my PC running the simulator for the IP address to show up.

I handle the IPV4 Checksum to TX only and turned on Telnet.

Is there anything else I am missing.

Regards,

Mark

Well, the simulator etherent connector is blinking RED / GREEN but ping does still not work. I have the IPV4 checksum offload to TX only.

[MQ]

Ping is working now but the offload has to be disabled , with TX only it would not work.

Mark
