Remote Booting Problem

[m1anh]

Help Please,

I would like to remote boot a PC with Dos and W95.

I have read all the key documents and have come to a dead end.

I have suse7.3, and have install isc dhcp server 3.0, tftp 0.2 BSD(peter anvin) and samba.

My client is a IBM usings a 3com 3C905C MBA \ PXE.

When booting the netcard uses PXE V2.00, finds the server and obtains an ip address. This is when things stop working. I am left with the following message on the client:

PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout
TFTP..

I have made a directory called /tftpboot/ and placed bpbatch.P and renamed to bpbatch, bpbatch.ovl and bpbatch.hlp

My dhcp.conf file read as follows:

# dhcpd.conf
#
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.12;
option routers 192.168.0.12;

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.14 192.168.0.30;}

allow booting;
allow bootp;

group {
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
option vendor-encapsulated-options 01:04:00:00:00:00:ff;
next-server 192.168.0.2;

host test1 {
hardware ethernet 00:04:75:8c:34:23;
fixed-address 192.168.0.28;
filename "bpbatch";
# option option-155 "-i";

}
}

The option command, will not work, when I restart rcdhcpd, it fails to reload. I am lead to beleive that replacing -i the the start.bpb script is required, again dhcp does not like this instuction.

Any advice would be most helpful.

I someone has a working example of getting some text displayed on the client, may get me on track again.

Many thanks
Ian
