SimpleSocketServer problem on Arria GX dev kit

Hi

I am a beginner in working with Altera FPGA's. I am working on a project in which i am using the Arria II GX FPGA Development Kit (http://www.altera.com/products/devkits/altera/kit-aiigx-pcie.html).

I am trying to get the SimpleSocketServer example running on the alternative Nios II Ethernet Standard RGMII Design Example (http://www.nioswiki.com/exampledesigns/nios_ii_ethernet_standard_rgmii_design_example). I am using Quartus 9.1 and have followed the solution from http://www.altera.com/support/kdb/solutions/rd11122009_293.html to get the SimpleSocketServer example to work with RGMII instead of SGMII, but this didn't work. I am getting the same output in the console:

Can't read the MAC address from your board (this probably means

that your flash was erased). We will assign you a MAC address and

static network settings

Please enter your 9-digit serial number. This is printed on a

label under your Nios dev. board. The first 3 digits of the

label are ASJ and the serial number follows this.

-->Created "Inet main" task (Prio: 2)

Created "clock tick" task (Prio: 3)

Looking in the iniche_init.c file it seems like the TCP/IP stack is never getting ready (Line 81).

Any ideas?

thanx
