<p class="MsoNormal">We happen to be in a predicament where we have staff
scattered across different facilities and different networks.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
We do not have DHCP services in any of these remote networks nor can we somehow
provide them.&nbsp;&nbsp; What I have done is compiled gpxe with a script that
statically assigns the IP info for a given network and this works.&nbsp;&nbsp;
The problem is that this forces me to create and carry a separate USB key or CD
configured for each network.&nbsp;&nbsp; That&#8217;s rather cumbersome with
the number of separate networks we have.&nbsp;&nbsp; So what I would like to do
is have gpxe present an initial menu that allows the admin to select the appropriate
IP settings for the network they happen to be on.&nbsp;&nbsp; Please note that
this menu needs to be available before gpxe has any kind of network info. Is
there a way to do this? &nbsp;I have seen that there are ways to have gpxe
present a menu after obtaining IP info but that doesn&#8217;t really help me. &nbsp;&nbsp;<o:p></o:p></p>
