Do you include the port number when you try to connect to it as in: 'telnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 30' ??? It won't connect without the port number 30 after the IP address. It would help to see the rest of the messages. Also,
- Is your ethernet connection through a router?
- Are you using DHCP? If so, is it acquiring an IP address from the router or defaulting to the static IP?
- When it's negotiating with the MAC and PHY, does it succeed or fail? I've seen it fail the negotiation at times, but still fall through to the 'Simple Socket Server listening on port 30' as though everything is working. That's not good, and it won't work that way.
