Hello!

I've been working with EFW 2.51 across half a dozen sites. One of the sites has a requirement to distribute a PXE image to clients upon bootup.

I have set the custom options as such

option bootfile-name "pxelinux.0";
option tftp-server-name "192.168.0.249";

While the client finds the DHCP server upon PXE boot, it sits and doesn't find anything and eventually times out. This is a working setup TFTP server moving over from MS DHCP.

Any advice?

We use the "option tftp-server-name" as you do, and it works fine for Cisco 79X0 SIP phones. We do not need to specify the boot file name, though, so perhaps your problem lies there.

Also, you may need to put the server name first, but that seems unlikely.
