RE: Unable to ping from redboot to PC


Yes, before the ping query the PC receives an ARP packet with the right ip
address, and the PC replies. Then, the ping query is addressed to the
correct MAC. The PC returns the ping reply to the board's mac, but it does
not seem to reach its destination.

The first ping message should be preceded by an ARP packet which is how
your RedBoot unit discovers the ESA of the PC.  Do you see this?  Does
the PC reply?
