I don't try to use dynamic IP addresses. I use static IP address and Waterloo TCP/IP, really their it was the my development environment MS DOS, AMD packet driver and Waterloo ping, they were chosed due to a minimal time to loading :-). I use the following packet driver 24512 Dec 22 1995 pcntpk.com About DHCP/BOOTP, did you use standard dhcp server, or a VMware?

If you did please send > me a copy so I can try it in my setup. Yes, I tried Netboot, but it was about year ago, and with real BootROM and real NE2000 card. And I don't yet tried it with a vmware. I only was used AMD packet driver with vmware. -- Vladimir Silyaev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
