android and enc28j60...

Hi,
I managed to connect a Chinese Android tablet pc with Android 2.2 to Enc28j60 (enc).

Before doing it, I completed the enc circuit and tested it with my pc and also connected to the router and everything works ok: I got html page from Arduino to my browsers when calling ip of enc from browsers.

Now I took the Android and connected it to the router, it immediately showed the Ethernet icon and web pages opened as expected. Finally, I connected it to enc, and as you know it didn't work :smiley:

I can't guess with my little knowledge why it is not shaking hand with enc. When I connect enc to the router or pc, the green LED on my Ethernet jack immediately goes on and stays stable. When I connect Android to it, even green LED is not to go on.

Could you suggest why that may be, or any test or some way to make it work please?

Down the road is the Ford dealer. Perhaps they can help you.

This here is the Arduino forum. If you have an Arduino question, ask it here.

Well, Arduino is in the other side of enc28j60, but well, you are right, that was not an Arduino question...Actually my overall purpose is how connect Arduino and Android 2.1.

The reason I wrote to this forum is that I think someone already did such a project (around Android 2.1.) but I can't find in my searches.

Of course connecting Arduino to Android version > 3 is easy solved with ready shields, but for 2.1...
