--- 192.168.1.101 ping statistics ---
12 packets transmitted, 0 received, +9 errors, 100% packet loss, time
11002ms
, pipe 3

Why is it happening so?

question 3: After we have set 'ethact' to TSEC1, the kernel is loaded, and
we have logged -in, when we try to ping the Host from target it says '100%
packet lost'. also we are unable to ping target from the host. Why is it
happening so?

Awaiting a prompt reply

We
are using the board MPC8313ERDB and we are facing problems regarding
u-boot environment variables(the environment variables displayed after
giving &#39;printenv&#39; command at u-boot prompt).<br><br>We are following the steps stated as below:<br><br>1. =&gt;printenv<br><br>output is:<br>....<br>....<br>bootargs=root=/dev/mtdblock2 rootfstype=jffs2 rw console=ttyS0,115200<br>

we have set the ethact variable to TSEC1 and saved it. Now it is
showing that this value of ethact is burnt in flash. But after the
board is reset, <br><br>4. =&gt;printenv<br><br>ileaddr=200000<br>

<br>Here again the value of ethact is changed to TSEC0.<br><br>we have following questions:<br><br><span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline; font-style: italic;">question 1</span>: We want to know the reason why it(ethact variable) changes to TSEC0 everytime with a reset.<br>

After we have set ethact to TSEC1 and saved it(=&gt;saveenv) and tried
to ping the Host from u-boot prompt it is working (displaying: &#39;host
alive&#39;).<br>But when we are trying to ping Target board from the host it is showing:<br><br>PING <a href="http://192.168.1.101">192.168.1.101</a> (<a href="http://192.168.1.101">192.168.1.101</a>) 56(84) bytes of data.<br>
