TCP stack broken in nios2-linux-20100621.tar

[Altera_Forum]

Hi All, 

I made an image based on nios2-linux-20100621.tar and loaded it on a cyclone III dev board. the linux and filesystem are working OK. I managed to ping the nios successfully. Problems started when trying to ssh it. The ssh client on PC is stuck waiting for a reply from the sshd on the nios. running TCPdump on the nios show that it get the SYN packet but issue no ACK back. It seems like a basic TCP issue not related to the server listening to the socket.  Any idea? btw, I couldn't connect to the git server on 140.118.20.145 (in ./update) there seem to be no server listening on that ip.. Thanks, Lior

The tar file is quite old and supposedly needs a lot of git updates to be workable.  

 If you are locked in behind a firewall you need to access git via http. Did you try this ?   -Michael

Yep. It's known that gut via http is slow.
