Dear 8 strings, i suggest to try older versions of Q II like 7.1 or earlier, because the dm9000a was available on the sopc builder. And probably works fine without pins problems.

Hi almemar,
Thanks for your reply. As you have suggested I have downloaded and installed an older version of Quartus, I have checked the CD coming with the board, and it comes with Quartus 7.2. I have installed it, but the example contained inside the CD is actually older I suppose. When I start SOPC, it tells me to update che system_0.qtf to the newer system_0.sopc, I tell it to update but after that, SOPC doesn´t start.
After this I have tried open a new project and run SOPC to try building a new design, but the result is the same, the software actually won´t start. I suppose this is happening because the version 7.2 of Quartus II is compatible with windows xp and windows 2000 but not with windows 7. Is it there any patch to fix the problem?
In case there is no patch, how can I manage to handle the ethernet connectrion throught my DE2 board?
