I have no problem with building and launch the demo on my STM3210C-EVAL board, the LCD displays “[www.freertos.org](http://www.freertos.org)”, the IP of the web server and the status. However, when I ping the web server, it doesn’t work at all. My network configuration is okay. I am convinced it comes from the demo. Everyone already encountered this problem and figured out how to solve it ? Thank you 🙂 ---

Directly or through a hub? What kind of cable are you using? Standard ethernet or cross over? ---

Is the network initialising correctly?  Put a break point on the line while( xEthInitialise() != pdPASS ) in webserver/uIP\_Task.c to see if the loop is ever exited. If so, put a break point in the function vMAC\_ISR() in the file webserver/emac.c, is the break point ever hit?  If so, is data ever received in the handler?  (if it is the line xSemaphoreGiveFromISR( xEMACSemaphore, &xHigherPriorityTaskWoken ); will be executed. If so, is the line if( ( uip\_len \> 0 ) && ( uip\_buf != NULL ) ) ever passing in uIP\_Task.c so pass the received data into the uip stack? Regards. ---

Hmmm stupid question, how should the MAC address be configured? For the rest, yes, my network is initialising correctly and I am hitting all the breakpoints you mentionned… ---

**[rtel](https://sourceforge.net/u/rtel/)** wrote on [Friday, August 03, 2012](https://sourceforge.net/p/freertos/discussion/382005/thread/27c5f0e5/#abd6): In a real system the MAC address would come from ROM somewhere, as each has to be unique.  In test systems the MAC address is just fixed in the C code, but still has to be unique on the network, so connecting two boards to the same network requires two separate configurations. In your demo the MAC address is defined by the constants: #define configMAC\_ADDR0 0x00 #define configMAC\_ADDR1 0x12 #define configMAC\_ADDR2 0x13 #define configMAC\_ADDR3 0x10 #define configMAC\_ADDR4 0x15 #define configMAC\_ADDR5 0x11 which you will find in FreeRTOSConfig.h. If data is being received, as it seems it is, the next thing to do would be to follow the packet through the uIP stack using the debugger to see if it gets dropped somewhere (in which case you will see why) or if it generated some output. Do you have Wireshark connected so you can see the traffic going back and forth? Regards. ---
