Happily, that worked! Thanks Cody. 2008/6/4 jam <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > On Wednesday 04 June 2008 01:19:20 [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > You've done so much on your netware server, this is all you need, can't you do > that.

We put in the IP of the tftp server in the name field, restarted everything, but the client still looked for the file on the DHCP server. I was using tcpdump, so I could prove that this was happening. Another contact of the Netware administrator responded that he too had been unable to get this feature to work. Thank you all very much for your assistance!
