Hi Folks! I am new to NetDuino and am diving in head first. I have the pdf "Getting Started with the Internet of Things" Chap 6 on Web Services. Per the author's instructions I can obtain the NetDuino MAC by running MFDeploy.exe/Target/Configuration/Network. I am supposed to see a network configuration dialog. Rather I jump immediately into a re-flash and a dialog never shows. Any idea of what is happening/corrections. I found a code reference that doesn't work that is supposed to return MAC. Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0].PhysicalAddress There is no Net namespace. I would appreciate any pointers as well as some good instruction on created web services. Take care, TomTheTeacher

Are you missing an import? This works fine for me: Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface networkInterface = Microsoft.SPOT.Net.NetworkInformation.NetworkInterface.GetAllNetworkInterfaces()[0]; byte[] myMAC = networkInterface.PhysicalAddress;

Oh, wait - on a Go how did you get an Ethernet connection? Those aren't out yet.

Duh! I figured the obvious when I looked over my Arduino. I said I was new.

I am woking on a student project (ROV). I need Ethernet. What is the Ethernet module ETA? I presume I can use my Arduino hardware if pressed?

Thanks. I will post more thoughtout question/comments in the future.

I believe the Ethernet module will be sent for a production run once the device has passed testing. There is a thread in the go forum, I believe that testing should be over in a week or 2 and a production run takes approx a month or so... Nak

Hi Tom, If you're in a rush, you can use an ENC28J60 module and a Gadgeteer Extender module with Valkyrie-MT's mIP networking drivers. [Or Sytech's SD+Ethernet module in conjunction with mIP.] Chris
