I disabled DHCP and all started correctly, but i couldn't successfully telnet to it. So i'm a little concerned there. Perhaps i just need to step through and ensure i didn't disable something i shouldn't have.
This is concerning, time is a factor for me, i may not be able to switch stacks. I'm putting this on the back burner atm so i can sort hardware. I'm giving my self a week to have some schematics done.
I'm actually trying to quickly design my own board (using BGA mounted). Instead of my marvell on my DE2, i need to use a SMSC lan 91c111. So hopefully its not too hard to get the HDL code for that particular chip.
Hey to avoid the earlier problem perhaps the new chip will be better off
