How to make two Mbed communication by ethernet
Hello, I'm new in Mbed, now I'm using two LPC1768 and two Mbed application. I want to know what could I do to make this two mbed communicate by using crossover. I have find the code in https://developer.mbed.org/handbook/Socket but I don't know how to change the code.
And I have one more question:
What does the IP means in this code, does every mbed has it's own IP adress?
Thanks~~

Hi,
if you only use a crossover-ethernet cable you cannot use the source code shown above. This code is assuming that you have a DHCP server which delivers a IP-address to the mBed. The EthernetInterface also supports a fixed IP-address. As example: So use IP-address 192.168.0.1 on mBed 1 and IP-address 192.168.0.2 on mBed 2 to be able to communicate with each other.
You should read some documentation to choose what to communicate. I believe there are some examples on the mBed site as well.
Good Luck.
