Could this be a limitation of the packet driver?? -- :!mcr!: | The postmaster never | So much mail, Michael Richardson | resolves twice. | so little time.

I have used BOOTP sucesfully with packet drivers ( 3c503, 3c523 and ibmtoken) May be the problem is with your card, did you check if it work with an IPaddress (myip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx) ??? Bye Jose A.

When switching to the internal 3c501 driver, I had no problem at
all (with both Telnet and ftp). Could this be a limitation of the
packet driver??
Yes, early 3c501 packet drivers couldn't do RARP or BOOTP. I don't remember
when I fixed it, you'll have to look in CHANGES.DOC of the current
packet driver release.
