[ixp1200] Problem with connecting host to IXP1200 board

[Himanshu]

Hi all,

I have followed all the procedure given in the manual to connect the 
host machine to the IXP1200 evaluation board. I am summarising the steps 
taken by me:
1.Start ftp server
2.Starting hyperterminal and switch on the board
3.Let it boot with all the proper settings of ip and username/passwds 
for vxworks image
4.Start Tornado and configure server
5.Launch the server
6.Ld < c:\ixp1200\vxworks_lib\VxWorks_Gig.o
7.NetApp_GigInit
8.Start Developer's workbench and open a project
9.Set hardware options and hardware debugging

All the above steps go pretty smoothly, but when i try to go in the 
debugging mode, it gives the following error:

" error opening network connection to node 'target' "

where, "target" is the target server name i have configured. I have 
checked for faulty cables, faulty adapters, proper jumper settings on 
the board, etc. But i couldnt get through inspite of all being fine. 
Previously, the board has been used to carry out hardware testing 
successfully. This is the first time such an error is encountered.

Please show a way out if u have encountered such a problem and got thru.

Thanks in advance.
