Hi

I'm thinking of all the great things I will do when I can stick my mbed on my ethernet tcp/ip network. All other interfacing has been simple and quick so well done mbed team(s). First of all I'd like to assign my mbed an ip address 192.168.1.147. I am using the EthernetNetIf library and I get compiler errors ""No instance of constructor "IpAddr::IpAddr" matches the argument list (E289)" in file "/main.cpp". Also I'd like to interrogate my mbed and get it to spit out its mac address and its ip address on demand. I also had difficulty importing the EthernetNetIf as a library.........is there another library or way of doing what I need? The EthernetNetIf looks so simple to understand and implement but its frustrating not to be able to do something so basic.

#include "mbed.h"
#include "EthernetNetIf.h"
EthernetNetIf eth(IpAddr(192.168.1.147),IpAddr(255.255.255.0),IpAddr(192.168.1.1),IpAddr(192.168.1.1));
//EthernetNetIf eth();

Serial pc(USBTX,USBRX);
int main(){
printf("Start\n");
printf("\r\nSetting up...\r\n");
EthernetErr ethErr = eth.setup();
        if(ethErr)
       {
        printf("Error %d in setup.\n",ethErr);
        }
printf("\r\nSetup ok\r\n");

}

Hi Gregory

As a starting point, try the program here http://mbed.org/users/segundo/programs/NetServices_HelloWorld/latest

Click on the Import into Compiler top right of the web page. It uses DHCP, so you if you want fixed IP address you'll need to modify. At least it should compile though.
