Hi,

I have upgraded my fileserver from 2.4.8-ac3 to 2.4.20. With the kernel 
upgrade I also installed the Debian system newly and took all the 
configuration from the old system to setup my new one. Now I am not able to 
remoteboot my client over DHCP and PXE.

The network looks like this:

   ---------- Bridge -------------------------
   |                            |           |            |
 PC1                     PC2      PC3        PC4

PC1 is my workstation, PC2 is a laptop, PC3 is a single board computer with 
PXE-Remotboot facility and PC4 is a gateway to the internet. The Network is 
192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. PC1 has 192.168.1.180, Bridge has 192.168.1.60, 
PC3 gets it's IP over DHCP and PC4 has 192.168.1.1.
I have installed DHCP and PXE and a Client-Filesystem on PC1 and Bridge (only 
one is active the same time).
The situation is: DHCP works but PXE not! The problem of PXE is that it also 
needs a second IP (multicast) for a request (224.0.1.2) which is not 
forwarded by the bridge. Why? How can I resolve the problem?? Do I have a 
misconfigured routing??

Setup of the Bridge:
        ifdown eth0
        ifdown eth1
        ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0 promisc up || return=$rc_failed
        ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0 promisc up || return=$rc_failed
        brctl addbr br0 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl addif br0 eth0 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl addif br0 eth1 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl sethello br0 1 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl setmaxage br0 4 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl setfd br0 4 || return=$rc_failed
        brctl stp br0 off || return=$rc_failed
        ifconfig br0 192.168.1.60 netmask 255.255.255.0 up || 
return=$rc_failed
        route add default gw 192.168.1.1

Output of route on Bridge:
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
localnet        *               255.255.255.0   U     0      0        0 br0
default         192.168.1.1     0.0.0.0         UG    0      0        0 br0

Please help!
