DHCP server on Windows NT



Is there anybody out there who used DHCP on Windows NT. I have come across
the following problem.

I have configured a scope with the following options:

Boot Server Host Name:	hutt
Bootfile Name			boot.img

The etherboot software receives a reply from the DHCP server and sets its IP
address. It sees the
name of the bootfile, but it does not get the name of the boot server (tftp
server). Examination of the packet sent by the DHCP server to the diskless
client reveals that the name of the boot server is not in the packet.
Etherboot expects it to be in the "Server Host Name" field. This field is
empty.

What are your experiences?

Could you please drop me a line.

Thanking you in advance.
