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?
