Jesse, One big problem I see is that you don't have the 'filename' entry in your dhcpd.conf file.
Take a look at http://www.LTSP.org/instructions-3.0.html Down near the bottom of that doc is some examples of the entries you need in dhcpd.conf. Hope that helps, Jim McQuillan [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Wed, 20 Feb 2002, Jesse Vaughan wrote: > I'm having a problem with tftpd.. and am wondering what i can do to fix > things..
