LD2, really? The heartbeat LED is LD1. I'll assume you meant LD1 unless you confirm otherwise.
Correct, LD2 flashes once every ~3 seconds. I used the bootloader contained in the archive, and also tried the latest version (1.41) of the bootloader with the same results.

When you press the reset button, LD1 should instantly light and stay lit for approx 3.5 seconds. What happens on yours?
LD1 is always on.
With LD2 flashing at that interval and the bootloader always being active, I would agree that either the bootloader is corrupted. Ian, how do I get the board to you for reflashing?
The web platform is connected to the network via an Ethernet cable. The cable goes to a switch, which is in turn connected to my Linksys router running dd-wrt firmware. Many other devices on my network are able to obtain a lease from router dhcp server.
LD2 flashes once every ~3 seconds on powering up the board. Once dp-wp-stackdemo.v0b.hex has been downloaded to the board, LD2 continues to flash at the same interval. The bootloader must still be active and not starting the downloaded code since LD2 flashes at the same interval described above, and I can download a file to the board anytime, not within 3.5 seconds of powering on or pressing reset.
I didn't try the original web server before downloading. My bad.
