Not sure what this falls under but storing eeprom ip address of ethernet.

Hello Not sure if this falls between a programming question or something else.

but i was wondering if it is possible to change ip address of the arduino through a webpage interface and have it store to maybe eeprom? Only way i can think of storing it is to the on board eeprom or some kind of flash chip.

everything i find is more about esp8266 or arduino yun. Can someone help me to figure this out? Thank you

Hello can you please move this post to programming question i would like to update it.

Here is my problem. I need to do a network setup. Right now have a simple webserver with dhcp that picks up the address from the local router. But i can't take my laptop with me sometimes and i was wondering if there is a way to program it through the Web server web page?

my sketch below

#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>

// Enter a MAC address and IP address for your controller below.
// The IP address will be dependent on your local network:
byte mac[] = {
  0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED
};

// Initialize the Ethernet server library
// with the IP address and port you want to use
// (port 80 is default for HTTP):
EthernetServer server(80);

void setup() {
  // Open serial communications and wait for port to open:
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    ; // wait for serial port to connect. Needed for native USB port only
  }


  // start the Ethernet connection and the server:
  Ethernet.begin(mac, ip);
  server.begin();
  Serial.print("server is at ");
  Serial.println(Ethernet.localIP());
}


void loop() {
  // listen for incoming clients
  EthernetClient client = server.available();
  if (client) {
    Serial.println("new client");
    // an http request ends with a blank line
    boolean currentLineIsBlank = true;
    while (client.connected()) {
      if (client.available()) {
        char c = client.read();
        Serial.write(c);
        // if you've gotten to the end of the line (received a newline
        // character) and the line is blank, the http request has ended,
        // so you can send a reply
        if (c == '\n' && currentLineIsBlank) {
          // send a standard http response header
          client.println("HTTP/1.1 200 OK");
          client.println("Content-Type: text/html");
          client.println("Connection: close");  // the connection will be closed after completion of the response
          client.println("Refresh: 5");  // refresh the page automatically every 5 sec
          client.println();
          client.println("<!DOCTYPE HTML>");
          client.println("<html>");
          // output the value of each analog input pin
          for (int analogChannel = 0; analogChannel < 6; analogChannel++) {
            int sensorReading = analogRead(analogChannel);
            client.print("analog input ");
            client.print(analogChannel);
            client.print(" is ");
            client.print(sensorReading);
            client.println("
");
          }
          client.println("</html>");
          break;
        }
        if (c == '\n') {
          // you're starting a new line
          currentLineIsBlank = true;
        } else if (c != '\r') {
          // you've gotten a character on the current line
          currentLineIsBlank = false;
        }
      }
    }
    // give the web browser time to receive the data
    delay(1);
    // close the connection:
    client.stop();
    Serial.println("client disconnected");
  }
}

only thing i can think of is maybe store the ip address in EEPROM and have the sketch get the ip address from EEPROM. Not sure how would that work?

I did make some progress of uploading mac address and static ip information in eeprom.

First i used this sketch to manually add the information to eeprom

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <NetEEPROM.h>

/* Stores network configuration of a MAC address and manual IP setup
 * to EEPROM.
 */
void setup() {
  byte mac[6] = { 0xDE, 0xAD, 0xBE, 0xEF, 0xFE, 0xED };
  byte ip[4] = { 192, 168, 0, 191 };
  byte dns[4] = { 8, 8, 8, 8 };
  byte gw[4] = { 192, 168, 1, 1 };
  byte subnet[4] = { 255, 255, 255, 0 };

  NetEeprom.writeManualConfig(mac, ip, dns, gw, subnet);
}

void loop() {
}

then i took the read the eeprom and it did display all the information that was stored.

#include <EEPROM.h>
#include <SPI.h>
#include <Ethernet.h>
#include <NetEEPROM.h>

/* Prints the network configuration stored in EEPROM. */
void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
  while (!Serial) {
    // Wait for serial for Leonardo
  }

  if (NetEeprom.checkMagic()) {
    byte mac[6];
    NetEeprom.readMac(mac);
    Serial.print("MAC: "); printMac(mac); Serial.println();
    if (NetEeprom.isDhcp()) {
      Serial.println("Network configured using DHCP");
    } else {
      byte addr[4];
      NetEeprom.readIp(addr);
      Serial.print("IP: "); printIp(addr); Serial.println();
      NetEeprom.readDns(addr);
      Serial.print("DNS: "); printIp(addr); Serial.println();
      NetEeprom.readGateway(addr);
      Serial.print("GW: "); printIp(addr); Serial.println();
      NetEeprom.readSubnet(addr);
      Serial.print("Subnet: "); printIp(addr); Serial.println();
    }
  } else {
    Serial.println("Network MAC and IP have not been configured");
  }
}

void loop() {
}

void printMac(byte mac[]) {
  for (int i = 0; i < 6; i++) {
    if (i > 0) {
      Serial.print(":");
    }
    if (mac[i] < 0x10) {
      Serial.print("0");
    }
    Serial.print(mac[i], HEX);
  }
}

void printIp(byte ip[]) {
  for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
    if (i > 0) {
      Serial.print(".");
    }
    Serial.print(ip[i]);
  }
}

then i put in part of the read sketch for only the ip address address to see if it will display.

What I'm not sure is how put the Ip address from the eeprom into the Web server ip address. Can someone please help me with this?
