Do you have a DHCP/BOOTP server available on your network?
Are the BOOTP requests making it to the network? This is crucial to
know as BOOTP typically needs to be set up for each particular target
system.
If you update your eCos sources to the latest CVS, you'll find that
RedBoot now performs a true DHCP discovery, as opposed to the simple
BOOTP, which may work better for you.
