Hi people, I'm trying to set up a bootp/tftp to boot linux off a diskless PC. The network card of the diskless box is a DLink 220, and it came with a boot rom. When I fire the machine up, it prompts with 3 options 1 - DLink Server 2 - Netware 3 - GPL Which, if any, of these is the bootp protocol? So far I've had no luck. Tcpdump dosen't show any traffic when the diskless machine is coming up. (sigh) ie - I don't see any bootp request. Has anyone had any luck getting a network boot with this card? I have my suspicions that maybe my cards faulty. If I warm boot, the card complains about memory errors. Cold starts are fine. If someone is using this card successfully with the DLink ROM, I'll know that I have to replace the card.
