Michael,
Maybe I am not understanding your question, are you saying that when you
configure your phone with a static IP address, you cannot find the boot
server and when in DHCP you can? If you are having problems with the
phone having a static IP address, make sure it is getting the correct
IP, subnet, gateway and DNS. If your DNS is incorrect for example, you
won't be able to find the server you entered, since there will be
nothing to point the phone where to go.
If you are talking about the actual boot server location, that needs to
be static as far as I know. It isn't like DHCP addressing where it gets
the DNS information from the host. It's a parameter that needs to be
set. If your TFTP server is changing IPs I would strongly suggest giving
it a static IP. It will make your life a lot easier.

the phone says it says it cannot find the boot loader and reuses the
previous configuration. When I set the tftp address in DHCP and
reboot the phone, it finds the tftp server and loads correctly.
My problem is that I don't always have control of the DHCP server.
Is there a way to set the phone to find the tftp server on its own?
Thanks
