Hi, Yes, I have the clients entry on my /etc/hosts file. Everytime the clients boots from the floppy with the message from the image file and it restarts the computer after scanning the /tftpboot/bootImage file and on the /var/log/messages I get this message, tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/bootImage. When I run "top" command, I can see both the bootpd and tftpd running on the server. I read the problems.html file but no luck, it only talks about tftp for such problem. Any suggestion pls.
