Please don't top post.

Are you using DHCP (BOOTP)?  If you are, serverip is probably being sent

by your DHCP server and overriding the value you have set in your env.

I'm assuming you are *not* getting env CRC failure warnings on boot.

If neither of the above guesses solve the problem, please copy what is 
printed to the console on start up.  Without more information, we're 
just guessing.

Thanks, Jerry.

Sorry for the previous top post.

Your guess is right!  

Upon looking more carefully at my log, I see 

  "bad CRC, using default environment"

In my boot-up log.

I am looking thru the code to see why I might have a bad crc.

Meanwhile, any guesses as to why I have bad crc?

Could I have ported code from u1.1.3 to u1.3.4 incorrectly?

Or could I have accidentally ignored some "change" from u1.1.3 to
u1.3.4?

Thanks.
