bootpc timeout on private network

[feng at bnl.gov (Feng, Shuchen)]

Hi,

Did anyone  boot RTEMS  sucessfully via a private network instead
of a public one ?  When the  ethernet communication  of Bootp/tftp
client/server is placed on a public network with an ethernet hub,  I
was able to boot RTEMS.  However, when the  ethernet
communication of Bootp/tftp client/server is placed on a private
network (clinet machine to server machine, point to point), the tftp
downloaded the RTEMS image, However, I  got  the error message :
"BOOTP timeout for server 0xffffffff".   Both  public and private
setups reside on one PC (two ethernet card).   To switch between
the public and the private network,  I changed the  IP address of
the Bootp/tftp client/server, the netmask, and the gateway in the
bootptab file. The domain name server was taken out  of the
bootptab file for the private network.  Did I miss other steps ?


I ran a simple bootptest  client on the private networked bootp server,
and it worked fine. On the same private network setup, I was able to
use  ftp/nfs to run  vxWorks  application.


Thanks in advance,
Kate


P.S. : The attached is the capture of the boot process, which shows
the IP address of the provate network.
