- I, too, am trying to get bootpd (via ka9q v910618) to service over
- 100 [CUTCP] PC's with limited success.

- My problem seems to be that ka9q does not recognize my bootptab file
- where I have static entries for my PC(s). Ka9q always assigns from
- the dynamic pool I establish in autoexec.net. Does the bootptab file
- have to be in a particlur location on my ka9q PC? Having not worked
- with BOOTP prior to this experience, I am (very) limited in BOOTP
- specifics. No matter what I try, the dynamic entries get assigned!
- I want to be able to detect the ethernet number and assign the IP
- number via an entry in the bootptab file - isn't this what BOOTPd
- (via ka9q) is all about?
-
- Any assistance is greatly appreciated... I already have enough gray
- hair! :-)

- Thanks.
