TCP/IP stack - How to use


  Building

Run BUILD.BAT. See DEFINES.C if you want to change something.


  Using

The configuration is stored in the file SETUP.NET. Example configuration with
static IP settings:

IPADDR 192.168.10.6 
GATEWAY 192.168.10.5 
BROADCAST 192.168.10.225 
NETMASK 225.225.225.0 
NAMESERVER 8.8.8.8 
MAC-GATEWAY 11:22:33:44:55:66

Example configuration with DHCP:

BROADCAST 255.255.255.255
DHCP

Note that the format is also compatible with mTCP applications, so mTCP's
DHCP client can be used with this TCP/IP stack.

If ARP is enabled, the TCP/IP stack automatically learns the gateway's MAC
address and it does not need to be correct in the configuration file.

If DHCP is used and NAMESERVER has been defined by the user, the NAMESERVER
option from the DHCP server is ignored.

In some badly written packet drivers the get_address() function returns only
zeroes. In these cases you can use MAC-MY option to manually set the local
MAC address. The syntax is the same as with the MAC-GATEWAY option.
