strange network Error

I just put Uboot into Flash, so I added no more parameters than :

- ipaddr 
- gatewayip
-serverip

I don't understand why I can't ping the Mini2440 from my PC whereas
I do from mini2440 .

The ETH led on the board blink only in that case.

in addition I'd say that the PC is able to ping the board when I do a
'TFTP' on it. 

Both of them are from the same network so no reason for that, does anyone
had already encountered it ?

I had reflashed U boot twice to exclude a bad image.



The mini2440 is able to ping the router, the PC 
but the PC is NOT able to ping the board on the same network

Can someone tell me ?

What does <ifconfig> say?

Are they all on the same subnet?

The FriendlyArm factory default is 192.168.1.230 what did you change it to?

What is the IP address of your router and PC?

in uboot : no ifconfig

in PC I set it to 192.168.0.3

they are on the same subnet

I change the FriendlyArm from 10.0.0.1 to 192.168.0.8

my router is set gatewayip=192.168.0.1

I strangely have answers when only doing a "dhcp"

Maybe Uboot doesn't support ICMP protocol.

Dear All Trouble Shooters,

I am impressed with the kind of path you have shown to Embsys. I have
successfully installed PPP on mini2440 and connected to PPP server and thus
internet. But when I run openvpn over ppp-network iam getting the following
error, 

TLS negotiation failed to occure within 60 secs (check network
connectivity)

But, I am able to establish connection between openvpn server and client
with normal TCP/IP connection.

Can any one help me in this regard.

With Best Regards,
Nikhil N.D.

Check the netmask. Both sides should be the same.
