I think this is an issue with your network configuration - 
netmask/broadcast etc.

Firstly, you should check the netmask/broadcast ifconfig settings on 
your host - make sure they match what you are getting on your microblaze 
board.

See below for more:

Shouldn't the broadcast address be 192.168.255.255, for a netmask of 
255.255.0.0 (a /16 network)?

#ifconfig eth0 192.168.100.6 netmask 255.255.0.0 broadcast 192.168.255.255

What is the broadcast setting on the host?

Regards,

John
