Carefully *read* what Steve told you!!!

If you have KITL over Ethernet turned on in your OAL, that provides an Ethernet-based communication channel to PB. *However*, that does *not* mean that you can use that for general network I/O in the OS on the device. It's for that debug channel only.

If you add the VBridge component, that creates a dummy Ethernet device in the system for you that your application code and the OS networking code can use, as though there was a full-blown Ethernet device there, but it actually calls into the KITL code to do send/receive, etc. In this case, KITL has *complete* control over the Ethernet device, so you can't have the driver for that device in the OS; KITL is using it. With this VBridge configuration, you can do network I/O, but, as you'd guess it's going to be slow, compared with direct access to the Ethernet controller from the real driver.

In your final device, you want KITL off and the real driver for the network device included, with no VBridge in the OS. This is the retail configuration.

Thank you for answering.
I read carefully, but I'getting confused.
As you can see I removed KITL and ethernet sharing.
So what's wrong now ?

My ethernet properties does not appears in the target
(standalone)  and not answers to my pings.
What do I need to have the ethernet working ?
TIA
