Basic setup questions regarding PINK.
I was hoping to find an answer to what might be a simple question. I'm trying to connect a pink webserver to a propeller chip. The problem is I cannot communicate with the pink module through the IPSETUP application. When I run the application I don't see any devices to choose from. I can't ping the webserver either. I am using a D-link router and suspect that is the problem. My question is " What should I use in place of the router?" A switch? If so, which brand works? It has also been my experience that routers can be mislabeled switches and vice versa. Is there some other option I can choose? Can anyone help with this problem?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Thanks for the response. As for my set up, I'm using the blue patch cable and connecting that through a switch.The power LED is indicating as are the network connects lights. The network connection lights, however, are not blinking and the switch lights do not indicate that there is a connection. The cable definitely works. In the IPSETUP application, I can't see the computer or the PINK module or any other device. I'm wondering if the firmware was not set on this module.
How is the Pink module connected to the computer? Is the red cable connected directly to the NIC connection or do I need to install a second NIC card: one connecting the computer to the network and the other from PINK to the computer.
The first option I tried, to no avail. I experienced the same results. The network connection lights didn't even indicate.
Thanks for the help, DGSwaner.
Have you checked the power? I really think this could be an issue even though the lights come on.
have you connect it to a micro controller? you could test to see if the serial communication to the PINK is working.
