Something odd is going on there. The firmware requests the IP address by RARP. This eventually succeeds, but why does it take so many tries? Later the bootstrap tries to request the IP address by RARP again, but it doesn't receive a reply. Maybe it just doesn't retry as often as the firmware. It looks like RARP requests aren't answered reliably on your network. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber [email protected]
