The UEFI PXE boot DHCP/proxyDHCP issue is very timely. I am working on that very topic now. Our scenario is a manufacturing environment set up to format and load/install custom hard drive images in our systems. Our environment: This is a manufacturing floor setup where we build computers for our customers. We have two servers and a client in the mix, all connected via Ethernet (IPv4 only).

This patch adds to Com32 modules the capabilities of accessing the EFI environment The idea is simple, the EFI parameters "image" and "table" received by syslinux.efi's efi_main() are stored in the "firmware" structure, next they are retrieved from the Com32 module which is linked against the gnu-efi static library. The Com32 module can use the EFI

This patch adds to the core EFI image booting capabilities. It was tested on VMware EFI clients and HP Elitebook EFI notebooks, only on PXE environments but it should work on non-PXE scenarios as well. Feedback appreciated.

I have a patch that I think may help your situation of syslinux.efi being unable to load ldlinux.e64/ldlinux.e32 (though I don't know if any of you are using an EFI ia32 platform). The basics are that we try to enable UseDefaultAddress as it helps certain clients with routing and works on numerous other clients. If we timeout on receiving a packet and have never received any packets, disable

Not really; If you parse both "next server" from the last parsed packet (PxeReply) will overwrite the value gathered from the ProxyOffer and that leads to "Nest-server"= DHCP Server IP

The variable 'ok' is never used and generates a warning. Remove it. Also ntfssect.c is designed to be compiled in non Unicode mode when using MSVC compilers, so remove all ambiguity about it (LPCTSTR -> LPCSTR, use of 'A' API calls) so that it doesn't break when compiled in Unicode mode, which is what Rufus uses with MSVC. -------------- next part --------------

from: Jeff Sloan <jeff_sloan at selinc.com> Based on commit: 9314e330 Setting UseDefaultAddress to TRUE uses invalid StationAddress and SubnetMask values. This is in a network with a local TFTP/MTFTP server. If the server is local, on the same subnet, UseDefaultAddress is set to false and the client ip and subnetmask are loaded, otherwise set UseDefaultAddress to TRUE. This is added to

Without an assigned source port, Transmit function assign a random new source port to the packet being sent. It thus have to be set before calling Transmit if the source port have already been decided. Conversly, we have to save the assigned port to reuse it later if needed. Resolve bug #35.
