Syslinux - Jul 2006 - PXE boot says server address is 0.0.0.0

Hello,

I have set up 2 PXE servers, on Linux Debian Sarge and Etch, on which I 
use syslinux + ISC dhcp3 + tftp-hpa for booting.

The older one, on Sarge, has been working fine for more than a year, 
great :-)

The new one, on Etch, with the exact same config files, does not : the 
DHCP part seems to work, but at the end pxelinux seems to lose the 
server's IP address; this what I see on the console:

[...]
CLIENT IP: 10.192.33.187  MASK: 255.255.252.0  DHCP IP: 10.192.32.48
GATEWAY IP: 10.192.32.254

PXELINUX 3.11 Debian-2005-12-18 Copyright (C) 1994-2005 H. Peter Anvin
[...]
My IP address seems to be the 0AC021BB 10.192.33.187
ip=10.192.33.187:0.0.0.0:10.192.32.254:255.255.252.0
[... ]

All the addresses are correct, including DHCP server, but for some 
reason this one becomes 0.0.0.0 at the end, and of course tftp fails.

Software versions are the following:
(work) dhcp3 3.0.1-2, syslinux 2.11-0.1, tftpd-hpa 0.40-4.1
(fail)    dhcp3 3.0.4-6, syslinux 3.11-3,    tftpd-hpa 0.42-1

Has someone a clue about this?

Thanks,

I have tried to downgrade one by one all three software, and succeded 
when downgrading dhcp.
So it looks like the problem is related to dhcp, and not to syslinux or 
tftpd-hpa.

Dhcpd server provides the server adress is get from the "next-server" 
field. So be sure to define it in your configuration file.
