DHCP BOOTP Documentation

All,

I'm trying to get PXE clients to boot, and am currently recieveing the error:

Error: Can't resolve IP address address of the DHCP server
Press a key to reboot system.

The ADS service and the DHCP service are on different physicals servers,
both Windows 2003. So, I assume that I need to set 066 and 067 options on the
DHCP server to point to the ADS server, but I cannot find documentation to
corroborate this. Can anyone point me to documentation for setting BOOTP
options/parameters on the DHCP Server?

Thanks,

Tony

Not sure how correctly I understood this. Were you getting IP address for
this system through a DHCP Server earlier? Is that Server not reachable now?

You don't need to set 066/067 for ADS Server. These options are for Boot
Server/File.

Thanks for the reply. I had alread solved this by enabling BOOTP on the DHCP
server. I learn as I go I suppose
