Hi all,

I've seen a few threads floating around about interfacing to ethernet, but nothing is pointing me in the right direction.
Put simply, want to send and receive information via the internet and don't have a vast experience/time to develop the interface.
I think I'm on the right direction with the ENC28J60?? as it sounds like a drop in solution, can anyone provide some snippets of code or suggestions of the simplest method of creating a tcpip interface.

Rob.

I don't know if you have considered it, but you can easily get Ethernet connectivity to a PIC by adding an external device, such as a Lantronix XPort.

Like the Lantronics the Siteplayer is an easy to use option for ethernet connectivity. Not sure how the software compares to Lantronics though.

THink you've nailed the product for me ronjodu the siteplayer looks very simple and quick and relatively cheap method to have IP connectivity.
The lantronix is a nice solution but a little too high level.

Embedding IP code seems a daunting task at this point in time...

And thanks for all the other response!!
