When I try to boot my diskless EEPro100 client with a floppy disc (no ether boot support) it sits at: Code: Searching for server (DHCP) . here's my dhcpd.conf: Code: # Sample configuration file for ISCD dhcpd # with boot menu #General options ddns-update-style ad-hoc; default-lease-time 21600; max-lease-time 21600; use-host-decl-names on; #Bootp options allow booting; allow bootp; #Network options option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0; option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255; option routers 192.168.1.254; option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.254, 192.168.1.1, 192.168.1.104; option domain-name "homeftp.net"; option log-servers 192.168.0.254; #LTSP path options option root-path "192.168.1.104:/opt/ltsp/i386"; filename "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1"; shared-network WORKSTATIONS { subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 { range 192.168.1.100 192.168.1.110; host ws01 { hardware ethernet 00:50:B7:11:0E:18; fixed-address 192.168.1.119; } } } and I've tried many different settings..with and without fixed addresses. ws01 there is the real MAC address of the client. With or without that it won't find the server. Both the client and the server have exactly the same hardware. Thanks for any help.
