Dear all, I set-up the server, and it passes out the DHCP lease as shown below. However, when the client tries to contact the TFTP server it attempts to do so on 0.0.0.0 instead of t2nl-app205.versatel.com. Below are the files and part of a tcpdump from the session detailing some of the TFTP communication. Somethin I have missed but what it is I do not know. Does anyone else know? Best regards, S. 14:02:42.960262 IP t2nl-app205.versatel.com.32799 > 10.205.8.254.acp-port: UDP, length 1460 14:02:42.960815 IP 10.205.8.254.acp-port > t2nl-app205.versatel.com.32799: UDP, length 4 14:02:42.960836 IP t2nl-app205.versatel.com.32799 > 10.205.8.254.acp-port: UDP, length 48 14:02:42.961127 IP 10.205.8.254.acp-port > t2nl-app205.versatel.com.32799: UDP, length 4 14:02:43.006899 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > *0.0.0.0*.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:02:43.713904 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > *0.0.0.0*.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:02:45.197284 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > *0.0.0.0*.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:02:47.948824 arp who-has 10.205.8.254 tell t2nl-app205.versatel.com 14:02:47.949072 arp reply 10.205.8.254 is-at 00:23:7d:a8:0a:54 (oui Unknown) 14:02:48.118658 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > 0.0.0.0.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:02:53.947311 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > 0.0.0.0.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:03:05.594568 IP 10.205.8.254.57089 > 0.0.0.0.tftp: 63 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/01-00-23-7d-a8-0a-54" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:03:28.879831 IP 10.205.8.254.57090 > 0.0.0.0.tftp: 51 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/0ACD08FE" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 14:03:29.620095 IP 10.205.8.254.57090 > 0.0.0.0.tftp: 51 RRQ "pxelinux.cfg/0ACD08FE" octet tsize 0 blksize 1440 # cat /etc/xinetd.d/tftp # default: off # description: tftp service is provided primarily for booting or when a \ # router need an upgrade.
