Network interface problems

Hi All,

I performed the porting of Linux 2.4.0 on my embedded platform.
It is based on MPC8260. The boot loader is PPCBOOT -0.8.0 and the
CDK is from Montavista distribution.

I have the following problem :

when I connect my board to a PC via a hub I have all the network services up
(FTP, TELNET, HTTP, ...). When the connection is extended to the enterprise
network via the same hub the same network services are down.
Disconnecting the enterprise network all services work well.

This is the output of the system

=> bootm 4000000 4100000
