Unless you have any particular reason to think its the PCI arbiter 
settings, I wouldn't have thought that's one of the more likely options. 
RedBoot may be simpler to debug... the most obvious thing is whether 
you've set it up with the correct IP details, i.e. address, mask, gateway 
IP address. It would certainly help to test if your machines are on the 
same IP subnet (and implicitly ethernet segment). Or alternatively you 
should check that RedBoot gets an address from the BOOTP/DHCP server if 
you're using that.

RedBoot should report its net details at startup.

After that you can try playing with the various debug options.
