Hi Javier,

What programmer are you using?

The one thing I had trouble with at first with my STK-500 was getting used 
to setting the configuration bits for the oscillator.  For some reason it 
started out with default settings and if I toggled between the config 
window and the program window with AVR Studio, it reset my config bits to 
default.  Or at least that's what I think happened.  That was with my 
first few programming attempts, which didn't work until I got the config 
bits set exactly the way I wanted them.  Then everything was fine.

But the configuration bits have to be set correctly for the type of 
oscillator you're using, or your programmed AVR will just sit there like a 
stone. That's pretty frustrating!
