My customer has the following issue
We’re using TI Code Composer 3.3 with the Network Development Kit. The NDK’s .tci file has this version in comments at the top:
TCP/IP_Network_Developers_Kit 1.93.00.09 08-16-2007 (ndk-c09)
We’ve been successfully using it with a static IP addresses for some time, but we need to transition to DHCP to support program testing efforts. We’ve seen our units obtain an IP address using DHCP on our corporate network, which has Microsoft’s DHCP server software running on a dedicated computer. Our test environment will be a small local network using something like a Linksys router or Microsoft’s Internet Connection Sharing (ICS) for DHCP to provide IP addresses. We’ve tried both scenarios and from packet-sniffing we can tell that our unit is sending a DHCP request, but nothing comes back from the server. We’ve tested both setups by plugging in other DHCP client devices, and they obtain IP addresses, so we know the basic setup works. It seems like the DHCP server is ignoring our requests for some reason, perhaps an option is missing in the request?
We’d like to know: are there any app notes with additional information about configuring the NDK to work with DHCP? Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Thanks Todd
