[lwip-users] How to begin using lwIP stack

[Antonio de Angelis]

Hi All,

I'm a new user of lwIP, i have to work with the win32 port of the stack. 
I've downloaded the stable 1.3.0 release and the contrib 1.3.0 files. 
I've succesfully compiled in Visual Studio 2008 the msvc8 port with the 
three projects (lwIP, lwIP_pktif, lwIP_test). When I launch the 
executable, Test.exe, i see these messages on screen:

Starting lwIP, loopback interface IP is 127.0.0.1
Starting lwIP, local interface IP is 192.168.1.200
0: \Device\NPF_GenericDialupAdapter

...until i press a key. Is it the correct behaviour of the test 
application? Is the stack working correctly? I want to use the stack to 
implement a TCP connection beetween hosts on a Win32 platform. How do I 
have to design my application? I want to use the socket API, so what do 
I have to do to build the application (e.g. what headed files to 
include, what libraries to link...etc.). Sorry but i'm not expert in 
network programming and I want to learn how to use the lwIP stack! Regards
