I think that I've determined that the terminal server (Decserver 700) is sending an ethernet broadcast message to hardware address ff.ff.ff.ff.ff.ff. The installation documentation says that bootp should get this request and respond with the load information to begin the tftp dialog. I've tried to trace the mechanism for allowing a program to respond to these messages, but I can't seem to find much on it. Is there some special configuration to allow ethernet broadcast packets to be sent to an application (bootp in this case)? Thanks? Steve Rose work: rose@lorenz.enet.dec.com home: rose@dml.com
