The message is telling the truth :) So either your network cable is
damaged, or the NSLU2 is not on the same network as your host (the
upgrade protocol will not pass through firewalls or through routers
(this means *through* a router, it passes freely between the various
ports on the switch built into the typical home router/firewall
appliance)) -- or your NSLU2 is not, in fact, in upgrade mode.
How did you enter upgrade mode?
