Hi,

I'm unable to netboot my SGI Indigo² via tftpd64. In theory, the SGI should get its boot-information via BootP (which is served by the DHCP module of tftpd32/64) and then load the files via TFTP.

In practise, this doesn't seem to work. When I do a broadcast for bootp, tftpd64 tells me:

Rcvd BootP Msg for IP 192.168.1.170, Mac 08:00:69:08:6A:42 [06/02 00:15:38.040]

BOOTP: proposed address 192.168.1.170 [06/02 00:15:38.041]

I have a tcpdump of the packets in question:
http://pixelbanane.d...408/bootp1.pcap


When I do not broadcast, but specify the server IP, I get:

Packet addressed to 192.168.1.150 [06/02 00:15:06.568]

Packet addressed to 192.168.1.150 [06/02 00:15:10.655]

Packet addressed to 192.168.1.150 [06/02 00:15:15.654]

Packet addressed to 192.168.1.150 [06/02 00:15:20.654]

tcpdump: http://pixelbanane.d...067/bootp2.pcap

I don't really see a problem here, what is wrong with it?

Please post the tftpd32.ini.

one more thing: at one time it worked, but the next time I tried, it didn't work anymore, although I didn't change a thing in my configuration.
I actually spent the last evening trying to find a pattern when it works and when it doesn't, but I couldn't get it to netbook again.

I'm running Windows 7 SP1, Firewall has a rule for tftpd64, I also tried disabling the firewall at all.
I also tried disconnecting the internet connection from my switch, so my router's dhcp cannot interfer with tftpd64
