Sorry if this message comes over twice, I posted it last night and never received a confirmation or saw it appear. Can someone give me a hand. I did a little more research and see that DHCPD does some sort of BOOTP for backwards compatibility. What about the fact that I don't know the MAC address for this new hub? Is there a way I can find that out? I tried ARP but it doesn't know it. ---- old message begin Okay, I'm stumped. I just got a great deal on this BayStack 253 hub, but unfortunately it doesn't have a COM port to configure it. It can be done as a slave for another hub, or it can get its info from a BOOTP server. Forgive me for being quite ignorant on this, but I can't seem to really grasp what I need to do. I downloaded the yale-tftpd package and installed in. BTW, I am running 3.3-STABLE. I don't quite understand what I need to put in the /etc/bootptab file either.. I read the man pages and honestly, they are quite cryptic to me. Please can someone walk me through the steps. Thank you very much. I am happy to provide any more info, its just I don't even know what you will need to help me.
