Hello fellow managers

I hope this is not FAQ, I have checked the lists and haven't found
anything... I have checked the manuals and not found helpful
information... I have visited man extensively and still not been saved...

(humor is a good thing...)

I have recently re-defined the entire network (added new network cards,
retaining the new) and everything seems to work except bootp and tftpbootp.

The previous addresses were 222.222.222.n and have been changed to
111.222.123.n (fictitious numbers in the example...). The hosts file and
bootptab have been updated via vi. The system rebooted and the tftpbootp
devices (an lps17 and a vxt2000 terminal) have attempted but failed to
reload.

The system is an AlphaStation 600/233 running OSF/1 v 2.0, VXT software
v1.5 and LPS17's PrintServer Software v5.0.

I am able to ping the system on all connected nets...
The VXT2000 terminal just cycles endlessly looking for a host to download
from...
The LPS17 displays the ethernet address and ?54 -- looking for the host to
download from, also...


What have I failed to do here? Hints are welcome...

Thanks,

Bonnie DeBruler
