Syslinux - Sep 2006 - (no subject)

Hi everyone :)

 
Trying this for the first time.....
 

My problem:
I'm trying to get PXELinux to use the parameters 208,209,210 and 211 (for
having a common config file and separate default values)
I've set up a tftp server (as suggested on the pxelinux site), and pxe
booting works as it should.

I'm stuck using a Windows 2003 DHCP server, and can't get it to send the
options described. I've added them as "Predefined Options" in the
"DHCP Standard Options". That's as close as I get to the
"site-option-space" as I can.. (I think)

I've used wireshark to monitor the dhcp request and response, and I
don't get the options 208-211.

Does anyone know how to make a Microsoft DCHP send these options even if the
dhcp client does not request it? It's my understanding that that the way it
sould work, since it's the network card and not pxelinux that does the dhcp
request.

Best regards

Try seeing if you can get them to send them as vendor encapsulated options.
