TCP/IP on microcontrollers?

[Chaos Master]

Hello people

I'd like to make a simple microcontroller-based device that can be used to ping
computers in a network. As I understand it I need TCP/IP and Ethernet.

Are there uC's with TCP/IP and Ethernet built-in?

Thanks

Here is how it can be done on the basis of the Texas Instruments MSP430:

IIRC, you don't need the TCP part of the protocol stack. Ping uses ICMP
packets.

....and ICMP. Maybe.

Dallas Semiconductor (Maxim) has a TINI board already put together.
It's economical too.

The MSP430 is not hard to get here in Brazil. I will take a look at this!
Thanks!
