I'm still struggling with my mpc8315e board , customized with a DP83848 PHY chip. after u-boot bootup , the LED of PHY link status is blinking, When I use ping PC FORM u-boot , it's OK.
But when I ping u-boot FROM PC , it doesn't work and I just got timeout error etc.
What are you expecting ? U-Boot is not an OS, and there is no thread in background answering requests from network. Except if netconsole is used, network and the related drivers are not active when not used, I mean when for example tftp or ping are not running.
If you want to have the network stack running, you should boot Linux.
