Hi Ken,<br>
<br>
At the risk of being simplistic, do you have the correct code in your
dhcpd.conf file to accept pxe connections ?<br>
<br>
i.e. <br>
# trick from Peter Rundle <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:peter.rundle@au.interpath.net"><peter.rundle@au.interpath.net></a><br>
if substring (option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9) = "PXEClient"<br>
{<br>
filename "/lts/pxe/pxelinux.bin";<br>
# NOTE: kernels are specified in
/tftpboot/lts/pxe/pxelinux.cfg/<br>
}<br>
else<br>
{<br>
filename "/lts/vmlinuz.ltsp";<br>
}<br>
}<br>
}<br>
<br>
good luck <br>
norbert<br>

<br>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">Thank
you! Swapping cables fixed my internet access problem, but I still
can't boot up a workstation.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">I am trying
to boot the workstation with a floppy. I have Realtek 8139 network
cards. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">I made the
boot image with the 'cat' command but the workstation says "Searching
for server (DHCP)........" and that's as far as it gets.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">During a
previous attempt it saw the server, but hung anyway.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">Is there
something that I am missing? How can I (should I) boot with pxe ?
(specifically). I am by no means a Linux expert, but I can follow a
trail of breadcrumbs.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-family: 'Tahoma'; font-size: 10pt;">Thanks again,</span></p>
<p> </p>
