MAC Level Filters 18F87J60 |

I'm having a few Ethernet problems, which I have managed to localise down to multicast/broadcast messages filling up the tiny buffer on the PIC. This is making Unicast impossible, which is all I need.
After a look in the datasheet I found the ERXFCON (receive filter) register, but I can't seem to get it to work. I should be able to only allow Unicast messages through, setting it to 0xE0 (1110 0000).
Does anybody have any experience with this register, and/or any advice?
Thanks |

You are looking in the right place. Here is an example that will not accept multicast
Code: |
// The default enables unicast and broadcast
WriteReg(ERXFCON, ERXFCON_UCEN | ERXFCON_CRCEN | ERXFCON_HTEN | ERXFCON_BCEN); |

Yea, I tried that, but it doesnt seem to let anything through. I cant even ping my device with that set!
Also, im using the Brush Electronics bootloader, which enables the unicast and broadcast by default.
Code: | movlw M_ERXFCON_UCEN | M_ERXFCON_CRCEN | M_ERXFCON_BCEN | M_ERXFCON_MCEN
movwf ERXFCON |
This will always happen before my code initialises, so im wondering if that could be affecting the ability for my code resetting it to 0xE0 (unicast and CRC). |
