I posted this message about a month ago and I didn't get any answer...
I also reposted it a few days ago and it never showed up on the mailing list.
I'm trying to set up bootpd on a machine running 1.2.13 with a HP PC LAN+
card and I get the following message when the machine receives a bootp
request:
Nov 13 16:18:35 mars bootpd[13968]: version 2.4.3
Nov 13 16:19:08 mars kernel: ARP: SETARP: requested PA is 0.0.0.0 !
Nov 13 16:19:25 mars last message repeated 5 times
I get this message when requesting from a Macintosh and also from a PC
running Novell's LAN Workplace for DOS TCPIP.EXE.
I tried to kludge around this by setting the response address to
255.255.255.255. I then had to hack bootp to allow sending broadcast
packets, but then found out that the "broadcasted" packets ended up being
sent to the default gateway's ether address instead of
"ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff" as I assume it should.
Any idea how to go about making this work?
