I'm using the BitsyX/wince4.2. we are A/C powered and never suspend.
my smc ethernet is on the personality board (no CF). ethernet works fine on the BitsyX ( pings to my host and IE allways display the page)

the problem is when the bitsyX is not pinging or using http, if I ping from the host to the bitsyX the ping times out. I have to ping from the bitsyX to the host to "prime" the connection, then the host pings work for a while, and then they quit working. if the bitxy host is allways pinging the host, then the host access to the bitsyX allways works.

this "feels" like the ethernet controller is powering down when no application on the bitsyX is using the ethernet controler.

I build my own kernels using platform builder 4.2, what can I do to fix this? I've read about ndispower.dll, what do I look for to disable it. I'm using the board support package (BitsyXV42003) / SMC9000 driver from you guys.

Thanks in advance.
Steve

I think you were right to post this question to the CE drivers forum (topic 1753), as it looks like a driver issue. We'll continue the discussion there.
