PropNIC + secure network...

I got ucontroller's propNIC, put it together with a·perfect soldering job, got the code and set it up for the demo board and loaded the propIRC program and....
It didn't work.
After a number of test changes, I came to the conclusion that it must be because our network is secure.· As I really don't want to spend money to set up another network just for the sake of getting a spin web browser to work, I was wondering whether any of you people know how to set it up so it works with a secure network.
Thanks,
Forest

The software I am using from Harrison doesn't do DHCP so you *must* supply it a fixed IP address; some networks do have trouble with this.· It is usually possible to configure the network routers to let traffic through to a simple device, but you may have to program a firewall or router to let traffic through to its IP or over the port you're using.
A network can't be secured like this, however folder shares and PCs on a network can be secured in the way you are describing. For your testing I would suggest a crossover cable direct to your PC which was mentioned in the previous post. If that works and you move back to your corporate/home network and it doesn't work be sure your IT department isn't block port 80, which is the HTTP port.
Vaati,
Could you describe your network configuration in more detail? Do you have to authenticate when you try to access the internet (such as when you open your browser)?
DynamoBen,
Some corporate and school networks are setup to require authentication before you can access any network resources. This can be done with transparent proxies (if you only want to restrict web access) or with products like ISA Server. Some networks will go as far as quarantining your computer/device until you authenticate.
Many (almost all)·manageable layer2/3 switches have configurable authentication and will not let you in (through the phisical port - RJ45 connector) until you are not authenticated. This can be done in many ways (internal user/password list, on mac address basis, through a radius server ...)
