#157136 - There's more to it than just ethernet...!

All well but not easy to start learning the entire TCP/IP stuff...

Yes, there's a lot more to networking a device than "simply" (sic?) implementing an ethernet interface!

Ethernet is just the very bottom layer of the protocol "stack" - you need several more layers and protocols before you can actually do anything useful!

And then you also need some appreciation of how things like routers etc work to actually make a network of diverse computers hang together.

See: http://www.8052.com/forum/read.phtml?id=147686 and follow the links

and then go about doing what I wanted to initially : send in data acquired from two analog channels from a MCU to a PC with a distance of about 100m between them !


You don't internet-enable a microcontroller for ease & convenience of implementation on the microcontroller - you do it for ease of access from other systems.

If you don't need that ease of access from other systems, you might be better off choosing an easier interface...
