    Hi Hasil,

    I've got a DE2-115 and trying to get an ethernet connection to the PC, which i'm strucggling with. DO you know a good place to learn from or do you have working code that i can disect so I may teach myself?

    You have to read file: DE2_115_Web_Server demonstration project to start learning the communication.But first you have a sound knowledge of BSD Sockets API.

    Feel free to contact for queries....

    Can someone please help me in writing a program for server and client on nios II EDS using Nichestack TCP/IP. I want to communicate between two pc's using a altera startix board on one computer by an ethernet cable.Nios II eds has "simple socket server" example provided by altera. modifying that i want to create my own program which will enable me to transfer data from one pc which will act as server and another pc which will act as client.

    First off, you don't want to use "simple" socket server to start learning about sockets. It (along with most/all of the other provided examples) make use of asynchronous sockets. While not too difficult to understand, they are more complex (and efficient) than what is necessary to setup a simple communications/data transfer medium.

    I like W. Richard Stevens' classic "unix network programming (http://www.kohala.com/start/unp.html)" (the first edition). The source code at the link should be enough to get you going...it worked for me... The tftp server/client was particular useful.

    Cheers,

    Hi Sir,

    I did manage to send UDP packet with DM9000A PHY/MAC using Altera DE2 board.

    Since i am using window, i am using the winsock program instead of bsd to receive the udp packet as show in the link below:

    http://www.codeproject.com/kb/ip/udptime.aspx

    But the code hang at the code line below:

    recvfrom(sd, (char *)&current_time,

    (int)sizeof(current_time), 0,

    (struct sockaddr *)&server,

    &server_length) < 0)

    Anybody have experience using winsock here? Please give me some help.

    Thanks.
