Yes, they are both on the same subnet. Since last night ( and 8 hours sleep later) I re-examined my set up + with advice from Patrick Morris + yourself I downloaded a tftpboot image, it was at this point I then realised after checking my setup again that I had mis typed the hex equivalent of the IP address, I had missed out the leading 0 but had an extra 0 in the middle ....fool that I am.... It boots like a dream now. > It's ages since I did it (with a PC running redhat) but I remember > I had to explicitly add a rarp entry in the rc script and reboot > the machine, but this was with an old kernel supporting rarp rather than > rarpd. The command was rarp -s <ip addr> <mac addr> > This confused the hell out of me at the beginning, running rarp on a 2.4 kernel gave "this kernel does not support rarp" messages. A bit of googling later I found a nice post that stated "rarp is a userland process in 2.4" so I installed the rarpd package from the Debian site added the ethers info & when the SS20 was attempting to load the image I got the messages shown in the logs. > It looks like the rarp packet gets sent from your PC but doesn't > make it to the SS20 - the request comes in on if-1073744616 and the > response goes out to 10.0.0.64 on eth0.

I suppose I should document this properly, it may be useful in the future?? My next task is to build a filesystem to use the SS20's as an Xterm.....
