oh.. missed that.. thanks. but.. besides the above guide on martin's page i found several pages with information and procedures dealing with redboot and fetching data via tftp - and i'm sufficiently confident that i do everything right and that it actually works (network-leds blinking, device beeping, fan-speed changing..) .. but for some reason it seems the ip-adress gets lost on the way, after the "exec" command in redboot i can't ping the device with it's default ip anymore. on one of the above mentioned other pages i found the command "fconfig" to reacreate the original boot script, running this lists the default values which also includes the default 192.168.1.100 .. but still.. it doesn't work. also without arping or anything, just letting a continous ping for the ip running while booting it - there's only a very brief window in which this ip is reachable.. ideas? thanks, markus. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
