Oh right... Misread and therefore misunderstood what you were trying to do.

  Hi Tim,

  Thank you for replying. I don't think the NICs are the problem. Tftp works fine when a thin client tries to tftp-get a file from a fat box.

  In this thread: http://sourceforge.net/forum/message.php?msg_id=2873158 Diego wrote that all it takes to make a PXES thin client into a tftp server is to set  LOCAL_TFTPD_ENABLED=1 in its conf file, but obviously I miss something because my thin client does not become a tftp server.

  It would be a pity to miss such an efficient tftp solution!


  Galina.

    Wasn't there a dodgy PXE implementation on early Intel cards that did 
    something like that? It would get DHCP response try to connect to TFTP

    like that anyway.

    What network cards are you using? What version number do they say they 
    have for PXE when they attempt to boot?
