There could be several reasons:

 1.  Does the EVM network configuration contain the correct gateway IP?
 2.  Is the correct DNS server configured? If not, this needs to be added as 
part of DHCP options or in the static IP configuration.
 3.  If you have the EVM inside the corporate network, the firewall rules might 
block the ICMP echo responses. Most firewalls do.

If you are able to ping any of local machines, no kernel changes should be 
required. The problem is most likely in the network configuration.
