bootp

[Marcel Kunath]

Ok, I gave up quickly on rarp and arp. Trying to get to the printer via bootp.

Well its a HP with jetdirect. The manual says by default the thing has IP
192.0.0.192 and it should be telnet capable under that IP 2 min after
turning on. Of course ping or telnetting it doesn't work.

Ok I set up /etc/bootptab

mail:~ # cat /etc/bootptab
smurf.montiehouse.com: \
   sm=255.255.255.0: \
   gw=192.168.1.1: \
   ht=ethernet: \
   ha=0060B0053740: \
   ip=192.168.1.100:

I set up /etc/inetd.conf:

# Tftp service is provided primarily for booting.  Most sites
# run this only on machines acting as "boot servers."
#
tftp   dgram   udp     wait    nobody  /usr/sbin/tcpd  in.tftpd /tftpboot
bootps dgram   udp     wait    root    /usr/sbin/bootpd  bootpd

I rebooted server and then turned on the printer and nothing happens.

Any help?
