Hello Prakash,
I have had similar problem with HardHat Linux, but when
I have changed to ElinOS distribution from SYSGO corporation,
all works well. But I have find a little "HOWTO" to solve this
problem in HardHat Linux, may be it will help you a bit.
I am sorry I am not posting URL link to this document,
because I don't remember it, but I think document is not
so large so I am attaching it. Once more, I apologize to other people
who are not interested in this problem.
By,
Jan
