Summary: MS DHCP Server returns SI server IP as hex
Initial Comment:
At boot time the client requests an IP address from
a MS Win2000 DHCP server. The DHCP server
complies and sends an IP address. The DHCP server
also sends the option-140 to pass the SI server IP
address to the client. The SI server IP address
passed to the client is sent as a hex not decimal.
Is there any to make a more intelligent client that
recognizes a hex IP address and converts it to
decimal so that the install can proceed?
The IP address of the SI server is 192.168.168.15
and the client receives the address c0:a8:a8:f
from the DHCP server. Attached is a poor screen
shot taken with a digital camera of what is
happening. I can probably do better if it is needed
to help debug the problem.

Ooops. I'm the guy who submitted the windows DHCP server config
advice below:

As this doesn't appear to be documented anywhere, this is how to get a
windows DHCP server to "do the right thing"
Basically what you are doing is adding another option type to the DHCP
server, in the DHCP app, right click on your DHCP server and click "set
predefined options"
Click the "Add" button on the dialog that comes up, You'll see a dialog
with the following fields - set the fields to these values:
Name: SystemImager Server
Data Type: Binary *** NOTE You must use "binary" not "IP address" or
"string" - if you don't your server address will appear as hex
Code: 140
Description: IP Address of your Systemimager Image Server
Click "OK" and Click "OK"
Now go to the entry for your client. Right click and select "Configure
Options"
(I'll assume that you have already set the parameters needed to get your
client to boot)
Scroll down in the dialog box and check "140 SystemImager Server"
Now click on the ASCII column in the data entry box and enter the IP
address of your image server.
Click OK.

it seems that this isn't necessary - a windows server can be
configured to do the right thing.
Randy - can you elaborate on how to do this? i'll add it to
the faq.

Randy: here's some other changes i made, fyi.
i haven't actually added the code to do the conversions for
specific IPs yet, but you would just need to do something like:

well, the big problems w/ my script are that we don't have
tr, cut,
or bc in the ramdisk.
ok - i can live without cut, but dunno how to get along w/o
bc or tr.
adding full blown bc + tr affects the initrd.img size like so:
base = 532349
base + busybox tr = 533255
base + busybox tr + bc = 562891
base + busybox tr + bc (built w/ -Os) = 560311
we're looking at an additional 27KB.
here's an updated snippet, as a function (tested in busybox
shell)
dehex_ip() {
local hex dec myip="" decimal=""
if echo "$1" | grep -q ":"; then
for hex in $(echo $1 | sed 's/:/ /g' | tr [a-z]
[A-Z]); do
dec=$(echo -e "obase=10\nibase=16\n${hex}" | bc)
myip="${myip}${decimal}${dec}"
decimal="."
done
else
myip=$1
fi
echo "$myip"
}

here's some shell that'll do this:
#!/bin/sh
IP="c0:a8:a8:f"
MYIP=""
if echo "$IP" | grep -q ":"; then
decimal=""
for i in $(seq 1 4); do
hex=$(echo $IP | cut -d ":" -f $i | tr [a-z] [A-Z])
dec=$(echo -e "obase=10\nibase=16\n${hex}" | bc)
MYIP="${MYIP}${decimal}${dec}"
decimal="."
done
else
MYIP=$IP
fi
echo MYIP is $MYIP
