Altera NEEK(3c25) Simple Socket problem IP 0.0.0.0

I am using the Altera Simple Socket example, and got these in the console.

It seems to not able to find et1IP

I tried ping the IP address 0.0.0.0, but there is no response.

Wondering what could be the problem.

    That's because SSS is configured for DHCP, but you don't have a DHCP server on your network.

    You have to disable DHCP in project options and go with a fixed IP address. Anyway, after DHCP timeouts, it should go back to a fixed ip address, but you probably didn't define it.

    In the standard SSS project template there's a get_ip_addr() functions which serves for this purpose.
