Problems running web server example

Hello all!

I have problems in running the web server example of my NiosII StratixII Dev Board. The project compiles and is running, DHCP fails and it uses static IP. It replys arp-requests, but I can't see the websites with my browser. Are there any problems known with this demo web server?

For information: The factory design with its web server is running without problems.

Thanky you!

    Hi e-tricky,

    had the same problem here. Where I work we all have a static IP-address. What you can do best is change the time-out voor the dhcp-service. I beleive it is in dhcp.c. And change the IP-address manually to an address in your range... And that works perfectly....

    Good luck,

    Danny

    Thank you, but manual IP address setting alone was not the solution.

    But now it works. There seems to be a bug in dhcp on this example. If it could not find a dhcp server and it times out, the static ip is set but the web server is not accessible.

    Now I have disabled the dhcp (Nios IDE, lwip settings) and now it works.
