Thread: Trying to setup dhcp/tftp to pxe boot an Alix sbc

hello

trying install ipcop on alix sbc. need setup laptop act dhcp server. alix doesn't seem talking laptop dhcp server. appears eth0 doesn't seem setting properly. don't know enough ubuntu know how fix problem. seeking advice on next.

laptop , alix sbc plugged ethernet switch. nothing else connected. wifi link on laptop switched off before trying pxe boot alix. laptop set static ip addresses don't think should affect operation of dhcp server.

ethernet status shown below:

code:

darren@toshiba:~$ ifconfig  eth0      link encap:ethernet  hwaddr 00:15:b7:f9:b2:55              inet6 addr: fe80::215:b7ff:fef9:b255/64 scope:link            broadcast running multicast  mtu:1500  metric:1            rx packets:9 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:331 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000             rx bytes:5346 (5.3 kb)  tx bytes:73251 (73.2 kb)            interrupt:16 memory:ffde0000-ffe00000     lo        link encap:local loopback              inet addr:127.0.0.1  mask:255.0.0.0            inet6 addr: ::1/128 scope:host            loopback running  mtu:16436  metric:1            rx packets:370 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0            tx packets:370 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0            collisions:0 txqueuelen:0             rx bytes:26239 (26.2 kb)  tx bytes:26239 (26.2 kb)

i have installed dhcp3 (isc-dhcp-server) , tftp ok.
below dhcp.conf file. copied elses work , have modified required parameters (eg. client address)

code:

# configuration file isc dhcpd debian  # modified pxe boot of alix sbc  # attention: if /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf exists, used  # configuration file instead of file.  #  #  option domain-name "home";    default-lease-time 600;  max-lease-time 7200;    authoritative;  allow booting;  allow bootp;    # next paragraph needs modified fit case  subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {    range 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.210;    option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;  # gateway address can different  # (access internet instance)    option routers 192.168.1.2;  # indicate dns want use    option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.3;  }    group {    next-server 192.168.1.3;    host tftpclient {  # tftp client hardware address    hardware ethernet  00:0d:b9:24:d6:9c;  #  filename "/pxelinux.0";  #   filename "/tftpboot/pxelinux.0";        filename "pxelinix.0";   }  }

the sys.log shows:

code:
