ftp/telnet connect: Connection timeout

[Fritz Code]

Hi,

im using an embedded arm9 system.
I boot the system through a initrd. The initrd contains the kernel
(2.4.21) and the root-filesystem.

After the boot a script executes the following to bring up the network:

hostname embedded-system
ifconfig eth0 add 192.168.0.151 netmask 255.255.255.0 up
route add -net default gw 192.168.0.1

I have problems  with the network. If I use e.g. "ftp server-ip" or
"telnet server-ip" I always get:
"connect: Connection timed out" after approx one or two minutes.

The server I try to connect to is running no firewall, I can establish
a connection to the server from another client successfully.
I can ping from the embedded system to the server and vice versa.

ifconfig on the embedded system show no errors or drops. But Im using
a strange MAC (11:11:22:22:33:33) although this shouldn't matter since
I connect the embedded
system and the server directly through a cross-over cable.

However :  "nmap -A ip-of-embedded-system" executed on  the server:

"Note: Host seems down. If it is really up, but blocking pur ping
probes, try -P0
Nmap finished: 1 IP address (0 hosts up)"

Strange, since ping works.

output of ifconfig:

root@embedded-system:/>
ifconfig
eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 11:11:22:22:33:33
          inet addr:192.168.0.151  Bcast:192.168.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
