Using Microchip's Ethernet Discoverer

One of the utilities from Microchip included in the distribution is the "Ethernet Device Discoverer".

If you compiled the code with the STACK_USE_ANNOUNCE macro defined, the stack includes a simple UDP daemon that listens to the ANNOUNCE_PORT (defined as 30303 in the code) for a discovery request.

If the request is received, the daemon will send back to the requesting host the current NetBIOS hostname, MAC and IP addresses.

Just run the executable MCHPDiscover.exe available in the tools directory and you will see a windows screen as in Figure 1 below.
