communication ethernet between two FPGAs

Thank you,

actually I'm working with a switch enabled to the auto_negotiation. The problem is that the fpga seems to properly performs the auto_negotiation but It cannot go on because it is not able to set the IP adrress even if I manually set it as explained in the Simple Socket Server example providerd by Altera.

The message I get from the console is the following:

Your Ethernet MAC address is 00:07:ed:0f:09:9b

Static IP Address is 192.168.1.234

prepared 1 interface, initializing...

Created "Inet main" task (Prio: 2)

Created "clock tick" task (Prio: 3)

[my message: waiting for iniche_net_ready...]

smsc91c111 Auto-negotiation: 100 Mbps, Full Duplex

SMSC ethernet Rev: 0x3392, ram: 8192

inet startup error: unable to initialize IP

dtrap - needs breakpoint

panic: IP

ip_exit: calling func 0x0

ip_exit: calling func 0x0

As one can see, the IP address is (apparently) set but the error is still on the IP initialization. However I have also say that sometimes I dont get this IP_INIT error but it stops just after the message:

smsc91c111 Auto-negotiation: 100 Mbps, Full Duplex

SMSC ethernet Rev: 0x3392, ram: 8192

The static IP assignment is done bye the same get_ip_addr() definition used in the Simple Socket Server example. The system used is a full featured and the environment is the quartus 7.1.

If I attach the code, does anybody read it?

thank you.
