After a failure I notice the following. 1. I get the message: "Sep 11 12:04:41 jasper kernel: arplookup 0.0.0.0 failed: host is not on local network" 2. If I do an "arp -a", I get: h004.ncbc.edu (199.199.28.4) at INCOMPLETE In /etc/inetd.conf I have the following line to startup bootps when it recieves a request: bootps dgram udp wait root /usr/libexec/bootpd bootpd -t1 Is this correct? Is their a known problem with the 2.0R version of bootps? ( I am using Winsock 2.0 with it's bootp request capability) Thanks for your help. -sean ------------------------------------------------------- Sean McGee smmcgee@ncbc.edu Network Analyst/Webmaster (612) 343-4751 North Central Bible College Minneapolis, MN http://www.ncbc.edu
