Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packet - jumpstart client

[bertieb...@gmail.com]

Got it working this far at the moment. After boot net - install this
is what is happening....

Did a snoop on the server and it seems to be accepting an ARP request
from the client but doing nothing with it.

What could be causing this problem?

Its sol 10 and rarp, tftpboot, services are active. /tftpboot exists.

- maybe you need a configured defaultrouter on installserver
- are the bootserver and server in the same subnet and has the
bootserver a working route to this subnet?

connected via crossover.
boot server is 10.1.99.10 (255.255.255.192)
client is (via ethers and hosts) 10.1.99.2

So what is the process that supplies the info to the request from the
client?

I think I've worked out that the client is sending an ARP request but,
for some reason, my server is not responding.

Like I said, entry in /etc/ethers so I dont understand it.

No default route but connection is just a crossover cable.

Start in.rarpd in debug mode and check if it sees the reqest.
I would also help if you could post the corresponding line
from /etc/ethers

and how is your naming services configured?

Cracked it. error in /etc/hosts file.

Stopped rarp service and ran in.rarpd -d -a and it told me ethernet
address could not get ip. This told me it was hosts or ethers.
