Hi All I am having a problem remote booting client machines using LTSP 3.05. The server is a RH 7.3 box without much on it, and LTSP was installed from RPM.
I have tried two clients with boot rom on the nic, and etherboot from a floppy. The DHCP server responds to the client, the client gets the correct IP address, and knows which server to find the kernel on. The client sends through a tftp request for the correct kernel file to the server. Here is where things are breaking down and I am stuck The server __appears__ to start chucking packets at the client the client doesn't seem to see them it just periodically initiates a new tftp session on the server. After 5 tries, the client gives up with a timeout error. I can manually tftp to the server from another linux machine, and get the kernel file. I can't ping the client from the server while it it trying to tftp, but at that level I am not sure if the client should respond to a ping? I have removed ipchains from the LTSP server, modifed hosts.allow to let tftp through to the client. I must have missed something simple Any help appreciated Cheers Robert --- Robert Fraser Infrastructure Manager Canterbury District Health Board ph +64 3 364 1467 Christchurch, New Zealand mob +64 27 226 5708 ********************************************************************** ** This email and attachments have been scanned for content and viruses and is believed to be clean ** This email or attachments may contain confidential or legally privileged information intended for the sole use of the addressee(s).
