Hello ! I would like to connect a PIC to my LAN. (Ethernet TP RJ45 10 or 100 mbps TCP/IP) The purpose would ofcourse be to send and retrive data to and from PIC. I need some help on howto go about this... Any schematics or code would be awe. I see two major issues: 1. Physical conncetion to LAN which inteface ICs could be usefull ? 2. Howto program the PIC to 'talk' to the LAN TCP/IP Eg. what needs to be sent and recived to have the PIC to respond properly I just measured on the rx/tx lines on the lan, it is +(-) 4vpp. Btw: sorry for posting in rich text before. TIA Patrick

Check out http://www.embeddedethernet.com - UDP has been implemented on the PIC16C74 there. In the past, many people have pointed out that the PIC doesn't have enough RAM to do real TCP/IP - but it can be done, if you use the 16KB of SRAM contained in many PC ISA Ethernet Chips (like most of the NE2000 models). This is what was done on the PicoWeb (http://www.picoweb.net). which is based on an Atmel chip. -Randy Glenn E-Mail: PICxpertKILLspamyahoo.com Web: http://i.am/PICxpert Currently wondering why I can't get in to Safe Mode - where's a Mac when you need it? {Original Message removed}

Someone the other day put a link to Circuit Cellar that put an Atmel and ISA ethernet card. Even have the source code. It runs a TCP/IP stack and webserver. It really is something to look at. You can download a complete PDF document of the whole thing. http://www.chipcenter.com/circuitcellar/july99/c79bl7.htm I might take the time to build this myself (some time this millenium). {Original Message removed}

Thanxs a million, this was *excactly* what is was looking for ! The PicWeb thingy is like 'cheating' ... don't wanna bark up that tree.
