hi, i recently acquired a 712/60 workstation, trying to boot it from lan. tcpdump looks like this (10.1.1.254 is the bootp server, 10.1.1.253 would be the IP of the hp box):
03:29:20.253733 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] 03:29:20.259366 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname "ironcurtai"[|bootp] (DF) 03:29:22.253780 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:2 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] 03:29:22.258825 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:2 Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname "ironcurtai"[|bootp] (DF) 03:29:26.253525 0.0.0.0.68 > 255.255.255.255.67: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:6 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 [|bootp] 03:29:26.258648 10.1.1.254.67 > 10.1.1.253.68: xid:0xc1f968d1 secs:6 Y:10.1.1.253 S:10.1.1.254 ether 8:0:9:91:ed:a0 sname "ironcurtai"[|bootp] (DF) after this, some strange arp lookups appear in the tcpdump output, like this: 03:28:48.961476 arp who-has 10.1.1.253 (0:0:0:0:0:70) tell 10.1.1.254 03:28:49.961465 arp who-has 10.1.1.253 (0:0:0:0:0:70) tell 10.1.1.254 the arp address sometimes change, to 0:0:0:0:0:66, or :64. don't know what this is, bootpd replies to the requests, but they never reach the 712. i use the rj45 port, which worked when i bought it from a company. any ideas? i can send the bootptab config on request (hoping the reply will get to the recipient ;) ) tia, -w-
