Well as I expected hard coding the address didn't really change anything. 
Basically I'm not seeing any of the response packets. So I went back to my 
old notes from a year ago where I had a similar issue with Redboot and 
there were issues with enabling the CRC checking / generation which I've 
confirmed are not the issue here.

Sigh, time to match Ethereal traces with debugging output and try to narrow 
down where things go wrong. I suppose the good news is that when I use DHCP 
the DHCP server *is* seeing the transmitted packets so I can contentrate 
primarily on the receiver. It does complain about not being able to set 
multicast but I don't think that is a real problem. I'll know after I dig 
into the traces more thoroughly. Hmm, I suppose I could dig up my old Intel 
board as well and see if that board had similar issues. Another avenue to 
try ...
