Honored ContributorHi ted,
First of all thank you for your reply. I appreciate your willingness to help me through my problem. I have not tried SignalTap yet ( although I have heard a lot about it) so I think I will give that a try today. However, I have used Wireshark. I'm not sure if you are familiar with it, but its a good tool to use to check whether or not the computer can see the board or not (essentially another way of pinging it is how I see it). Basically what happens is there is a broadcast form 192.168.1.1 (IP I set manually to my computer) looking for 192.168.1.234 (IP I set manually to my Arria V GX board). There is no reply from the board, and what I have noticed is that in this program, the IP and MAC addresses of the computer are fine, but only the IP address of the board is correct. Wireshark shows the MAC address of the board to be all 0's. However, in NiosII SBT, when I run as-> niosII hardware, it displays the correct MAC address in the terminal along with the correct IP address. So my question is the following: is there a setting in windows I need to go to, to edit the MAC address of the board? And could this potentially be the problem? Like I said I will take look at SignalTap, and report back to this post with my findings. Thank you
