[hpsdr] Hermes networking question

[K4KV]

Hello,

One of my Hermes boards is giving me trouble with TCPIP.

The board is recognized by the bootloader program when the programming 
header is set, and I can program

either protocol 1 or 2 into the board.

What would allow me to program the board, but would keep it from being 
recognized on the LAN afterwards?

I cannot ping the board either.  Bootloader is the ONLY thing that 
works.  Yes the programming header was

removed after programming.  It worked fb yesterday, and I moved the unit 
around some...suggesting some

sort of intermittent on the board.

I am wondering, could it be hardware open or short?  Perhaps the 
bootloader is half-duplex and everything

else is full duplex?
