My Ultra1 sends out a RARP request with its MAC address and gets its IP address by the RARP server. Than it does a tftp request with its IP address (no DNS lookups by the client - this isn't possible at this stage as the client only knows the IP address, but not the network address, default gateways or DNS servers). On the tftp server I have set up links from the image to XXXXXXXX, where XXXXXXXX is the client's IP address in hex, all upper case. No .SUN4U or similar. That works fine. -- ==> Ciao, Mosu (Moritz Bunkus)
