Hello, I have a doubt regarding physical identifier of an Ethernet physical IC. What is the importance of their physical identifier. when I compared DP83848C and DP83640 and found not much difference in their registers. While programming, only when these identifiers are valid its starts its actual working. What might be the importance of this identifier?
How can I ping my board rather than HTTP?
Any of the networking projects will support ping.
On your host computer, just use the ping command.
The ping facility is a core component of TCP/IP. I don't understand how anyone could consider starting an HTTP based project without having knowledge of, and experience in, using ping.
I have tried for ping. But 'Request time out' is shown
So either the board can't handle your chip. Or your board requests an IP over DHCP and you have no DHCP server in the network. Or you have configured a fixed IP that your PC doesn't know how to route to. Or just about any number of other possible errors.
But with the lack of information from you, it isn't so meaningful to make random guesses. We don't even know if your device shows any link lamp activity.
DHCP server isn't there in the network. I have configured the IP address myself as told in the sample program which is 192.168.0.100. Whereas my desktop is having 192.168.0.101 and have same subnet mask, gateway and all. Let me know what you meant by 'link lamp activity'.
'link lamp activity'
It's a light that typically blinks when there is network activity. Do they flash?
No its not blinking. Once hardware is switched on the LED blinks. When that LAN connection is made enable from the host PC, the LED stops blinking.
