AW: [microblaze-uclinux] network bad working?

["Raul Camaras" <raul.camaras@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

thank you John for you answer/s.
However I did everything right with the network
configuration(netmask/broadcast) and it looks like again, that the
board(uclinux) doesn't answer to the first arp request(s) from the host
to know the MAC address of the microblaze board, just after a ping is
done from the board, it starts answering.
Any idea how can this be solved? So that I don?t need to ping first to
let it work.
Thanks a lot.
  - Raul Camaras

Hi Raul,

I think this is an issue with your network configuration - 
netmask/broadcast etc.

Firstly, you should check the netmask/broadcast ifconfig settings on 
your host - make sure they match what you are getting on your microblaze

board.

See below for more:

Shouldn't the broadcast address be 192.168.255.255, for a netmask of 
255.255.0.0 (a /16 network)?

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.6 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast
192.168.255.255

What is the broadcast setting on the host?

Regards,

John
