Has anyone found a solution to setting static IP's with the N3Enet?  I've now transitioned to Netduino 3's (I should say am trying to transition) but am struggling with this.  My Netduino 2 Plus I could set a static IP using .NET MF4.2 and the following line of code...

 

Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0].EnableStaticIP(ipAddress,subnetMask,gateway);

 

Now with my new N3Enet and .NET MF4.3 I get....

 

A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

An unhandled exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException' occurred in mscorlib.dll

 

Any help would be really appreciated.  I need to get this working quickly (or find more Netduino Plus 2's!)

Any news or progress on this?  I bought some more Netduino Pus 2's to hold me over for a bit but if this isn't sorted out I'll need to bail form the Netduino platform and look for a new controller to build my product with.  Chris?  Any news??

Please see these issues I logged against the Netduino.IP repository on Github back in November 2015.

 

https://github.com/n...duino.IP/issues

 

• Problems with EnableStaticDns() & EnableDynamicDns() methods in NetworkInterface class
• EnableDhcp() not implemented in NetworkInterface class
• EnableStaticIP() not implemented in NetworkInterface class

With Netduino 3 there was a move towards the implementation of lwIP (i.e. "Lightweight Internet Protocol").  I believe this was done in anticipation of what would be coming out in NETMF 4.4.  Anyway, the above methods DO work on Netduino Plus 2 and DON'T work on Netduino 3.  I'm not sure if they're things that should have been implemented by the board developer or if they're part of NETMF 4.4.

 

Anyway, if they're things that are important to you, please visit the issue list on Github and add your comments / reaction (vote up) the issues.

Thanks for the reply.  Bummer to hear Chris is MIA.  I'm blown away that Static IP's would have been left out in a micro controller firmware design.  I'm hoping it gets taken care of.  I'll add some comments on Github.

 

Thanks!
