connected via the same vlan or switch) as the dhcp server, it will then be able
to receive a DHCP address.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

out.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

problem in kickstart<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>I am trying to use kickstart to install RHEL 4 WS from my FTP.<BR>The
problems are following:<BR><BR>1. client host can not get DHCP server
response.<BR>Press Alt+F3, the message is:<BR>"pump told us: NO DHCP reply
received.<BR>eth0 isn't a wireless adaptor"<BR><BR>I sure my DHCP server is
work. <BR>The client host can used it's old OS to get IP address from DHCP
server.<BR><BR>2. client host can not use static IP to install.<BR>After client
host get IP from DHCP failed. I tried to use static IP to install from FTP. The
client host did not connect to FTP server.<BR>Press Alt+F3, the message
is:<BR>"reverse name lookup failed"<BR><BR>I sure the client host can connect to
FTP server by it's old OS.<BR><BR>3. can not use installation disk to install
from FTP.<BR>I used installation CD to install from FTP. It can not get IP
address from DHCP server and can not use static IP to connect from FTP
too.<BR><BR>I have try 3 version installation disk(original, update 1 and update
2).<BR>The 3 versions are the same problem.<BR><BR>Have any idea?
Thanks!<BR><BR>PS: The same way on RHEL 3 WS is ok.<BR></BODY></HTML>
