Is this correct? Well, you're not getting an IP addy from a DHCP. I don't yet know if it's because you can't even get onto the wire or because you're being ignored by the server... > The network controllers are built into an Intel motherboard, if that > helps. Excellent! ;-) Can you poke around the client and see if you got anything from the server? Can you poke around the server /var/log/messages and see if you can see the client broadcasting or being replied to? You may need to add some "-v" to the xinetd tftp file. -- dnl My comments represent my opinions, not those of Intel Corporation. ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the 'Do More With Dual!' webinar happening July 14 at 8am PDT/11am EDT.
