I had read somewhere that the computer should be connected directly to the camera, as "special packets" need to be sent during the netboot, and some routers/switches can interfere with that.
That said, for this netboot attempt, I've got the computer connected directly to the "LAN-IN" on the PoE injector, and the camera connected directly to the "PWR LAN-OUT". I assign the computer an IP address with 'ifconfig eth0 192.168.1.11 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255'. Will that simple setup work for the netboot?
