Is the debug showing the packet from the printer? That 16 hops looks awfully strange. The client should set the BOOTP hop field to zero. A router can increment it, but I doubt that the packet has really been through 16 routers. Maybe the printers have a buggy implementation of BOOTP. Did they ever work? My guess is that a router won't forward a BOOTP with hops as large as 16 already. My next step would be to sniff on the Ethernet side and compare BOOTPs coming from the clients to BOOTPs coming from the printers. This is going to be a tricky one. Please let us know what you discover. Thanks. Priscilla >The bootp requests never gets to serial int.
