Thanks!

Now the telnet server works. I am using a cross over cable and set the ip address, the subnet mask, and the gateway in windows manually. For the subnet mask and gateway, I used the values specified in the file simple_socket_server.h.

I also had to turn off enable_dhcp_client as described in the file that you uploaded.

So it was, as you said, a connection problem on the cable/computer side.

The simple socket server is running on both evaluation boards, DE2 and DE4.

Now I can start changing the socket server task to transfer data.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Now you can get down to the fun stuff. :)

Thanks for posting your results, and good luck with the rest of your design.

BTW - DHCP does work, if you get around to needing it.

ALSO - The web server example application also works quite well. If you need to serve up basic HTML pages, it does a nice job. Like the Simple Socket Server app, it uses NicheStack and MicroC/OS-II. Some tweaking will most likely be required to work with your system.
