Hi dears,

Greetings from Prakash.A I am working in Symbian C++. Now I am trying to access internet from emulator through the

ethernet.

So I downloaded the the .pdf file which has the instruction to configure the steps.. I did all the steps..

but when I trying to dot the last step that is executing the following command
"configchange.pl --config ethernetWithCommDB --kernel EAK1 --target wins --variant UDEB"

I am getting the following error like

"Setting up CommDB for ethernet
Running Netcards to obtain adapter info
Failed to read physical address of Ethernet card
Can't spawn "D:\\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\epoc32\tools\netcards": No such file
or directory at D:\Symbian\7.0s\Series60_v20\Epoc32\tools\configchange.pl line 73.
Error running netcards! "

In the configchange.pl the line number 73 is as following

"$drive\\$epocroot\\epoc32\\release\\$target\\$variant\\ceddump" ) == 0
or die "Error running ceddump!\n";
system( "move $drive\\$epocroot\\epoc32\\$target\\c\\cedout.cfg

$drive\\$epocroot\\epoc32\\$target\\c\\nonethernetced.cfg" ) == 0 ------------ --------------->this only is line number 73
or die "Failed to rename cedout.cfg!\n";

So Please how to set up this properly please help me..

And onething is that How should I access the Symbian CommDB , Where this CommDB is available to edit and how should I

edit this DB.

Plase help me...

With Expectation,
Prakash.A

Hi

i am facing the same problem.

When "\epoc32\tools\netcards.exe" is invoked, the error msg says:

Adapters installed:
Failed to read physical address of Ethernet card

As a result, netcards output file, ethernet.ini is not written.

Any inputs on this will be of great help

Thanks
