Using JD11 with NETMF 4.3 and Fez Spider

I have tried to fetch an ip via DHCP and could only do it, by assigning a static-ip first. Otherwise the Network_Up event will not be fired. Looking for the correct way to do it.

Thanks :slight_smile:

Hi Andre,

thanks :slight_smile: I will try that. And I have fixed the typo. I post the result back here.

UPDATE: Found everything. Thanks for your help!
UPDATE: It looks like the NetworkAvailabiltyChanged event is not accessible anymore using the latest Firmware and NETMF 4.3. Maybe I am missing an assembly reference? I created the project in VS2012 and I uninstalled all GHI based components before I installed the latest SDK.
