I saw reference to the existence of a TCP/IP example for the Keil MCB-STR9 board, but can't find any content. With the eval 2K limitation you can't compile, but we could download the flash and demo some protocols like http or something.
Anyone know how to find the sample TCP/IP project?
I think you are exactly right. I don't know how to make the laptop provide the DHCP service, or act as a server. Once the IP address is issued to the MCBSTR9 board, I can disconnect the network and it will still work.
So maybe hard-coding the IP address would work, or running some sort of "server" emulator code on the laptop. But it all just might be too much trouble. I'll read the TCP/IP appnote and maybe it will offer some answers.
This link here might be able to solve your DHCP problems:
