Figure 3. Configuring Network Support
If you don't see an inet addr entry when running ifconfig, wait a few
moments and try again. It can take time to retrieve an IP address from a
DHCP server.

Using Sample Network Applications
The Nios II evaluation board ships with a web server, telnet server, and
an FTP server. Once network support is enabled, all these network
services can be accessed through the board’s IP address. For example,
typing http://<IP address> into a web browser on your PC will access the
web pages served from the Linux web server running on the evaluation
board.
