Yes, the server gets a DHCPREQUEST response to its DHCPOFFER. I took the ethereal advice and found that not only is DHCP working, but TFTP is working as well. I noticed it was loading the nbi.img image (sucessfully), so I switched it to pxelinux.0 and got a different response. The client starts to load the pxelinux.0 image, gets to block 2, and then resets, asks for an address via DHCP again, and starts trying to download the image again until it gets to block 2. It will keep going in this loop forever unless I stop it. When it loads the nbi.img file, it doesn't have the looping problem.<br>
<br>I have included the output from ethereal below hoping that it will shed some light on the situation. <br><br>I'm a little puzzled. Should I try another version of Etherboot? I'm using version 5.2.6.<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
