I understand you are pinging _from_ u-boot.  If not, that is a problem.

Do you see ARP replies from your ping target?  If not, you have a problem with either the target machine or the ARP packet itself (most likely the former: ethereal should tell you about packet problems).

Is the FEC interrupt happening?  Do you see packets in the FEC Rx queue?

If you are seeing ARP replies on the network, you have a ethernet receive problem.  Based on others similar questions in the archives, most likely you don't have the Rx clocking configured properly.  You might not have the port pins used by the ethernet Rx functions configured properly.  You might not have the PHY configured correctly.
