[U-Boot-Users] U-BOOT FOR MPC8272ADS - network issue

[Stan Kuciej]

Hi Everyone,
I'm using u-boot on a MPC8272ADS board and I'm experiencing the 
following behavior -
 From a cold start u-boot starts up and downloads my OS via bootp fine. 
Whenever the MPC8272ADS
is reset in any way other than cycling the power the network software 
doesn't seem to receive any packets.
The MPC8272ADS is able to ping other hosts but it won't answer any pings 
from the other hosts.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
   Thanks,
       Stan Kuciej

Sure. This is normal behaviour. U-Boot  does  not  reply  to  network
traffic of any kind.
