hm...I have been struggling with this and kind of frustrated....Here is
the latest that I got..
The 2 machine are connected through a hub. One diskless, and one with
10.0.0.1
I want to keep everything simple...so my routing table looks like
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
255.255.255.255 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 eth0
10.0.0.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
After I fired up bootpd -s -d4, I got
bootpd: info(6): recvd pkt from IP addr 0.0.0.0
bootpd: info(6): bootptab mtime: Sun Dec 23 22:13:13 2001
bootpd: info(6): request from Ethernet address 00:D0:B7:BD:3B:88
bootpd: info(6): found 10.0.0.2 (compute3)
bootpd: info(6): bootfile="/tftpboot//bzImage_nb"
bootpd: info(6): vendor magic field is 99.130.83.99
bootpd: info(6): request message length=548
bootpd: info(6): request has DHCP msglen=1260
bootpd: info(6): extended reply, length=1260, options=1024
bootpd: info(6): Received: DHCPDISCOVER
bootpd: info(6): Sent: DHCPOFFER
bootpd: info(6): sending reply (with RFC1048 options)
so everything looks promising as I am receiving request..but then I can't
send anything back, because if I look at ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:A0:24:D7:10:EB
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.255.255.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

TX packets:6 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0

RX bytes:45046 (43.9 Kb) TX bytes:410 (410.0 b)

lo Link encap:Local Loopback

collisions:0 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:39672936 (37.8 Mb) TX bytes:39672936 (37.8 Mb)
the eth0 RX is increasing as the request comes in..but TX does not change,
what changed is the RX and TX on the loopback device. and RX/TX for lo is
increasing really fast as if the loopback device is the one that bootpd is
sending the file to. Can anyone suggest anything? thanks
