regarding the usage of embedded ethernet MAC on Virtex4

Hi all,
I started working on interfacing PC with Virtex4 FPGA through Ethernet
Embedded MAC which is there on Virtex4 FPGA. I am kind of new to this
task and I am really not sure how to start of with.My problem is I
don't know anything else other than VHDL. When I was going through the
documentation it has some C files.One question is ,if I have a design
which is totally described in VHDL and I would like to have a ethernet
wrapper around it which can be done by using ip core.I am using
Virtex4 FX12 mini module from memec. What is the next step to do if I
want to observe the data on the monitor,what is the next step? How to
use XPS to generate all these,in particular how to include the VHDL
files so that the bit stream will be generated?Can someone suggest me
anyplace where it has a good example which is clearly explained.Thanks
for the help.

Thanks,

Ramakrishna
