Network settings
Within the network settings menu the ethernet port can be configured as needed, so it matches with
your local network settings.
The Network settings menu is only visible if a ethernet port is available.
Get IP settings from local DHCP Server on your network. Most
home routers provide these settings by DHCP. If this is not the case
please consult your internet/network provider.

Set custom networkmask, DHCP has to be disabled. This field can
be left empty if DHCP is enabled.
Set custom Gateway, DHCP has to be disabled. This field can be left
empty if DHCP is enabled.
RR-net compatibility
Some of you may be familiar with the RR-net solution that brings Ethernet to the C-64. Currently,
the built-in Ethernet port does not provide RR-net compatibility.
The Ethernet port is used natively by the firmware
There is some primitive support for file-transfer using FTP (needs improvement), and it is possible
to connect to the Ultimate using a VT-100 terminal program on the Telnet port (port 23). This gives
the possibility to control the machine remotely, and swap disks without actually interrupting the
program running on the C-64.
Ultimate-related BBS and IRC clients
Since RR-net compatibility is not yet provided, some specific Ultimate software has been developed
for accessing BBS and IRC networks. Ulimate Lib is a library (written by Scott Hutter) that gives
easy access to the full TCP/IP stack that the Ultimate provides. This library comes along with two
sample applications: Ulimate Chat and Ulimate Term, this one co-developed with Francesco
Sblendorio.
Applies to: Ultimate 1541-II, Ultimate 1541-II+, Ultimate 64
