Hi,
Ive made a set of sdi images that I use to load images to cf on target
devices using remote boot manager on a w2k box, and a dhcp server on a
box running linux smoothwall. This allows me to boot the target
devices with PXE which all works well. However, I really would like
to do this with a laptop with both DHCP and RBM running on the same
laptop for field upgrades. I have tried running free dhcp servers on
xp professional (tftp32, turbo dhcp) but cannot get remote boot to
work. ive set option 60 PXEClient, and still no avail. Ive tried
using tftp32 on its own to load startrom.12 but the tftp transfer
fails and im missing the bootfont.bin file. So i tried installing
win2k server on another partition on the laptop and following this
guide
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...xpconconfiguringdhcpforremotebootservices.asp
Which doesn't work either i just get the same PXE 53 error with the
intel PXE 2.0 agent. You can see on the DHCP server an ip has been
assigned to the correct MAC address. Option 67 is disabled in remote
boot manager, use default settings is enabled, boot server is 0.0.0.0,
boot program is startrom.n12, boot image is blank and so is boot
parameters (i have a boot.ini file in the remote boot downloads
folder).
I have tried this on two laptops and i am quite stumped, i thought
this was going to be quick as it works fine with DHCP and RBS on
different comps I guess god doesnt like me. If anyone has any ideas I
would be very grateful.
btw ive tried different lan cables, switches, cross over cables and
have verifed the dhcp server works (as it assigns ips to windows comps
happily), and the test target remote boots fine on the smoothwall+w2k
setup.
I feel i must be overlooking something, i thought the 2k server was a
sure bet.
from the article above
"If you choose to configure Remote Boot service and DHCP to reside on
the same server, you must configure the Remote Boot service to
communicate using a port that does not conflict with DHCP"
I take it this only means dont check sue DHCP port 67 in RBM?
Thanks
P.s. Id like to thank everyone here who has posted their problems and
solutions on this group, withou your help no of this would have been
possible.
