gPXE seems to be failing with Altiris (HP deployment pack) PXE server (proxyDHCP mode) and regular Windows DHCP server on the same network. gPXE sends DHCP DISCOVER Both Altiris (running on different server) and DHCP server responds with DHCP Offer gPXE accepts IP address from regular DHCP server and sends DHCP REQUEST and receives DHCP ACK from DHCP server. It now enters proxy mode and sends out DHCP request to port 67 Altiris ignores it Onboard PXE NIC works fine (HP nic) Next I changed the proxy_port to 4011 (PXE_PORT) and it worked fine (in dhcp.c file). It seems like Altiris is listening on port 4011 and not 67 and causes the problem where gPXE times out and says "No root path or file name specified". I know there have been recent fixes for dnsmasq which could have caused this regression I have the pcap files (wireshark) if one is interested but it is pretty obvious what is happening. -Viswa ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Verizon Developer Community Take advantage of Verizon's best-in-class app development support A streamlined, 14 day to market process makes app distribution fast and easy Join now and get one step closer to millions of Verizon customers http://p.sf.net/sfu/verizon-dev2dev _______________________________________________ Etherboot-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/etherboot-discuss
