I ordered another board concerned that I had 'bricked' this one. I followed the same procedure and achieved the same result (Please do not bring up the insanity definition). I am going to my clean xp installation and trying again. Any insight from anyone would be helpful.

Hey!
I had some problems with this process as well. I even tried in linux without any luck.
What solved it for me was uninstalling the netduino drivers completely (actually removing them) and followed these steps: http://wiki.netduino...y-Netduino.ashx
windows automatically detected the netduino as a com port. the drivers they talk about on the wiki (in case it doesnt work) don't work however... windows 7 x64 tells me they're not compatible.
but yeah... I wonder why atmel doesn't bother making 64bit drivers...

wow! after some trouble flashing the bootloader on my 64bit machine I managed to get this firmware working I tried previous release candidates, since the "stable" version doesn't work properly with networking, but I had driver issues. So far my windows 7 64bit machine doesn't seem to crash, but I only ran a few test projects Perhaps the bootloader had been the issue with the driver? is that possible? I haven't flashed any bootloader last time I tried the RC... Anyway, Networking is working great so now I can finally start playing with my netduino plus

I think the Netduino Plus usually has not finished negotiating the IP address when it initially boots with DHCP. You have to wait for it...

Thanks for that Valkyrie-MT!
I've actually waited some time for the dhcp to work with thread.sleep but nothing happened.
On the other hand, the web-server demo I used didn't do this:

NI.EnableDhcp();
NI.ReleaseDhcpLease();
NI.RenewDhcpLease();

to setup dhcp... I did used that, maybe that's why it failed?

I have several years of experience with C#, C++ and C but I'm still finding out how this micro.net stuff works
I'm already in the mood to write a bunch of basic libraries to get several things started in a reliable way tho. I've done that with every language however

Ok, so I've tried this demo: http://forums.netdui...uino-webserver/ aaaaand it works I had to try it 3 times before the webserver actually worked, but from the first start DHCP got trough and the netduino responded to ping So excuse my ranting Now the netduino plus adventure begins for me!

I just received my new netduino plus. I'm new to the micro .net framework, but after playing around a bit I noticed it's very much the same as regular .net. I however experience the same issues as described here before. After I've entered the MAC address from the sticker on the back I was able to see it on the network with a static address... however, the netduino does not respond to pings, neither does it respond to the port (80) I've opened. DHCP doesn't work at all. I can see on my router that a lease is given to the mac address of the netduino, but the netduino simply displays 0.0.0.0 My router (asus RT-N16) has the dhcp package called dnsmasq: http://thekelleys.or...nsmasq/doc.html I've tested this with stable firmware 4.1.0.6 as well as the 4.2 RC1 To be honest, I'm a bit disappointed because of this, I expected that this would work better than using arduino + a shield since it's all integrated in 1 board. I've tried several samples from different authors based on netduino plus networking, but none of them seem to work.
