Problems with sending a UDP packet ( static IPAdress)

[Matan]

I have a Spider, and I added the module: Ethernet_J11D.
When I trying to send a UDP packet I get an Exception (while receiving UDP packets goes fine, without no problems).

the major code:

    // GTM.Module definitions
    Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics.Ethernet_J11D ethernet_J11D1;
    Gadgeteer.Modules.GHIElectronics.UsbClientDP usbClientDP;

    public static void Main()
    {
        //Important to initialize the Mainboard first
        Mainboard = new GHIElectronics.Gadgeteer.FEZSpider();			

        Program program = new Program();
        program.InitializeModules();
        program.ProgramStarted();
        program.Run(); // Starts Dispatcher
    }

    private void InitializeModules()
    {   
        // Initialize GTM.Modules and event handlers here.		
        usbClientDP = new GTM.GHIElectronics.UsbClientDP(1);
	
        ethernet_J11D1 = new GTM.GHIElectronics.Ethernet_J11D(7);

    }

   Socket Sender;
    Socket Receiver;
    // This method is run when the mainboard is powered up or reset.   
    void ProgramStarted()
    {
        
        ethernet_J11D1.Interface.Open();

        NetworkInterfaceExtension.AssignNetworkingStackTo(ethernet_J11D1.Interface);

        //not working
        // ethernet.UseStaticIP(ethernet.NetworkSettings.IPAddress, ethernet.NetworkSettings.SubnetMask
        //                      , ethernet.NetworkSettings.GatewayAddress, ethernet.NetworkSettings.DnsAddresses);

        ethernet_J11D1.Interface.NetworkInterface.EnableStaticIP(IPAddress.GetDefaultLocalAddress().ToString(), "255.255.0.255",
            ethernet_J11D1.NetworkSettings.GatewayAddress);//, ethernet.NetworkInterface.DnsAddresses);

        //not working
        ethernet_J11D1.NetworkUp += new Module.NetworkModule.NetworkEventHandler(EthernetNetworkUp);

        Sender = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
        Receiver = new Socket(AddressFamily.InterNetwork, SocketType.Dgram, ProtocolType.Udp);
        Receiver.Bind(new IPEndPoint(IPAddress.Any, 12340));
        
        try
        {
            //a valid end point
            var endP = new IPEndPoint(new IPAddress(new byte[] {198, 168, 0, 10}), 44544);

            //throws the excption
            Sender.SendTo(new byte[] { 22, 2, 2 }, endP);
        }
        catch (Exception e)
        {
            Debug.Print(e.Message);
        }

the exception:

@ Matan - There has been many posts recently on how to initialize an Ethernet adapter with the 4.2 SDK. The process changed with 4.2. You seem to be mixing 4.1 and 4.2 initialization code.

Try following the initialization procedure from this project. http://www.tinyclr.com/codeshare/entry/651

@ Matan - Welcome to the forum!

In addition to the above.

Try to move your sending code into a separate thread or one of the event handlers. ProgramStarted method is not the right place for it.

welcome to the forum

Using code tags will make your post more readable. This can be done in two ways:
1.Click the “101010” icon and paste your code between the code tags or…
2.Select the code within your post and click the “101010” icon.

Architect,
You’re absolutely right. I have an original code, that includes hundred of lines, and there the receiver and the sender are managed in separate threads/event handlers. I had a specific problem with the

Socket.SendTo

method. So to be specific, a stared a new little project, that focuses on my problem.
In bottom line, I have a problem in this little program, that I want to solve.

You seem to be mixing 4.1 and 4.2 initialization code.

Mike, as I mentioned, I’m working on that latest versions of the SW\FW. My code is a syntax that compiles and runs. If there is “old” syntax, you can blame the dll, that still saves that the old syntax… (or the developers that didn’t removed it from him…)

Mike, thanks. I will check it out.

ethernet_J11D1.Interface.NetworkInterface.EnableStaticIP(IPAddress.GetDefaultLocalAddress().ToString(), “255.255.0.255”,
ethernet_J11D1.NetworkSettings.GatewayAddress);//, ethernet.NetworkInterface.DnsAddresses);
what value do you think have IPAddress.GetDefaultLocalAddress() or ethernet_J11D1.NetworkSettings.GatewayAddress before you assign a static ip?

the correct code to setup a static ip would be

ethernet_J11D1.NetworkInterface.EnableStaticIP(“192.168.0.1”, “255.255.255.0”, “192.168.0.1”);

andre, Thanks. I will check it out.

Socket error 10065 indicates that server is unreachable.

Andre, your code worked. Thanks!
