SSS stabillity issues

This is killing me... I had a design just under way using SSS and lost the disk on my laptop. I actually had SSS running and modified it to parse commands so I know it works... When I load/build the verilog source for nios2_linux_3c120_125mhz_sys and generate a SSS with BSP on 9.1 sp1 I get the following:

No ping, no telnet - any thoughts? It's likely I'm missing something dumb...

Thanks - C

    Just a few thoughts:

    - try with DHCP disabled

    - check if the activity led (I suppose your board has one) flashes when you ping the board

    - usually I have the SSS task created message and then the SSS listening: maybe the message order it's only a matter of tasks priorities, however I'd check this point.
