If you want to use DHCP you need a DHCP server on your network. Do you have it?

During initial testing you'd better disable DHCP and use a fixed well known IP address.

If you can't ping it, there are a number of possible reasons:

- your pc is not configured with the same subnet as the DE4 board. Check network settings on your pc

- your fpga design is not fully constrained and it possibly has timing problems

- other flaws in fpga design (i.e. pin assignment): did you use a standard sample design or did you build it from scratch?

- you missed something in Nios bsp or application settings
