Hi there,

I need to make a brief  description of the (g)pxe protocol.

I created a tcp dump and load it into wireshark.
In this dump I can see the client request reading the bootimage
undionly.kpxe from the server

12    11.057593    192.168.0.196    192.168.0.1    TFTP    Read Request,
File: undionly.kpxe\000, Transfer type: octet\000, blksize\000=1456\000

But no where in the dump I find anything about the server telling the
client the filename is undionly.kpxe

So how does the clients knows he needs the file undionly.kpxe. I know
it's in the dhcp.conf file but that name is not transported to client in
the dhcp packets


regards,

Martin
