Yes....that's so weird...I think they are communicating differently.

P.S: I noticed that if I connect my computer to that switch, the led X blinks (where the X is the number of ethernet port). So I guess there is communication between my compuer and the switch, but not to SoC...uhm.
P.P.S: If I press any key while bootloader is booting, I still get the web error:
