I'm trying to use PXE to boot & install RedHat boxes. I have it working
with one NIC card, but am having problems with a Dell Precision
Workstation 530. According to the specs the card is as follows:
integrated 3C920-based 10/100 3Com® Ethernet controller with Remote Wake
Up capabilities (3C905C-TX compatible)
The problem with this particular machine/NIC is that it's getting ARP
Timeouts when it starts the TFTP. tcpdump shows an arp request looking
for the gateway, but no reply.
Some background info:
Server:
ISC dhcp 3.0pl1
tftp-server 0.28 (ships with RH 7.3)
The client machine I'm trying to boot is on a different subnet. The
cisco router is relaying dhcp to the above machine.
I can successfully boot different hardware with the same configuration
on this same subnet.
Anyone experience this or have any ideas? Thanks.
