<TT>Can you capture the DHCP transaction with Wireshark or 'tcpdump' and filter it for DHCP and share the resulting packets as an e-mail attachment? I don't quite understand what you mean by the client sending an empty boot filename. Do you mean it makes a TFTP request with an empty filename? If so, do you have a Control-B CLI? If so, can you please try:</TT><br>
<br>
<TT>dhcp net0</TT><br>
<TT>show filename</TT><br>
<br>
<TT>and report whether or not you got a filename from the DHCP service?</TT><br>

<P>Thanks Shao,</P>
<P>I have attached gpxe.cap. You can see the DHCP ACK in frame 14 with a boot file name present and frame 15 shows a TFTP read with an empty filename. I managed to find out version of gPXE client this morning - apparently it is 0.9.9 embedded.</P>
<P>I can't do the CLI operations currently - I will have to ask for those to be performed on my behalf.</P>
<P>I just want to know if I should be looking at getting the gPXE client 'fixed' or the server or what...</P>
<P>Regards,</P>
