It was a typo error I was speaking about EBD9312.

I tried it with the HUB, it worked. The IP was assigned and I was able
to d/w the Linux kernel and run it. But when I tried the same later I
could not do it. The IP address is not assigned dynamically. I verified
all the DHCP connection, network connectivity but the problem persists.
WHY?

I network uses 255.255.255.0
Also, the EBD9312 board redboot has a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
This is a MISMATCH. 
However, we can do some thing when we first boot with redboot. DHCP
works at boot time. So, also if the subnet MISMATCH is the reason, can
we do any thing?

We got it when we used the DHCP. But problem now is we are unable to do
it the second time. Why?

Desperate to come out of this.
