Hi,

I'm starting qconn from the bsh script upon boot, but the target does not appear as active/connected on the host until I
 do a "ping <host>" from the target serial shell. Board is MPC8313.

I do the following:

io-pkt-v4 -dmpc85xx mac=000012345678 -ptcpip &
waitfor /dev/io-net/en0
waitfor /dev/socket 4
ifconfig en1 192.168.80.2
[other stuff]
qconn port=8000

But, as I wrote, Momentics only connects once I ping.

I tried to mechanize this and added this as the last command:
ping -c 5 192.168.80.1

Behavior of the five ping packets:
- ping
- ping
- ping
- no reply
- no reply

From the command line, ping always succeeds when called as soon as the shell prompt appears. How can this be?

After this, the target appears in Momentics, but i wonder nevertheless:
- how can I make it connect automatically without pinging
- why are the first three automated  pings succeeding, the two last automated pings not, and from the shell it's always 
successful?

Greetings,
 Marc
