[U-Boot-Users] MPC852T ethernet

Hi,
I've got u-boot 1.1.3 ported to a development platform based upon an MPC852T and have one remaining issue with the ethernet.
I can ping and tftp from the platform but cannot ping or telnet to it. I can see that both ping and tftp fire off the initial request and then sits there polling until they're done. I'm assuming that pinging in and telnet to the platform is different, as they will be interrupt driven, not polled, but I don't see any interrupts (the platform is configured for FEC so I should expect and external interrupt, right ?)
I suppose that I'm missing some configuration but can't see what. AFAIK I've set the network environment variables correctly - as tftp works fine.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Best regards.
Tony.

Are you talking about U-0Boot or Linux here?
If you mean U-Boot, then you should understand that incoming pings are unsupported by U-Boot, and telnet like all other TCP/IP based services are unimplemented, too.
If you talk about Linux, then you're off topic here.
I suppose that I'm missing some configuration but can't see what.
What exactly makes you think this should work? Having a closer look you will also find out that U-Boot does not reply to ssh requests nor does it work as a web server. Java support is pretty poor, too. Doom isn't runnin either.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
Don't expoect too much. This is a boot loader, not an OS.
