Hi If the dhcp command fails and retries, it does not reset the BOOTP counter: => dhcp BOOTP broadcast 1 BOOTP broadcast 2 BOOTP broadcast 3 DHCP client bound to address 192.168.0.207 Using FEC ETHERNET device TFTP from server 192.168.0.1; our IP address is 192.168.0.207 Filename 'MPC5200/uImage'. Load address: 0x100000 Loading: ###T ###T ###T ###T ###T ##T ###T ###T ###T ###T ### Retry count exceeded; starting again BOOTP broadcast 4 BOOTP broadcast 5

Retry count exceeded; starting again BOOTP broadcast 6

Retry count exceeded; starting again
