Two different PHY chips are used on the DE115 boards depending on when the board was made. Make sure you have software that matches the chip that is in use. The settings should be common between PHY chips but this isn't always the case. The mac address is set in the PHY chip by software. Check to see if there are jumpers on the board to set the mechanism used to communicate with the PHY. These (if there are any) must match what the software is using.
