Need help for Bootp

I’am trying to use bootp with Qnx 6.2 and I have got some troubles.

  1. I can’t launch tftpd. In the syslog it writes :

Mar 28 10:56:37 nto tftpd[1060899-1]: recvfrom: Invalid argument

  1. When I boot a client the bootp server writes this error:

Mar 28 10:53:05 nto bootpd[1032222-1]: trying /home/tftpd/hello.ifs
Mar 28 10:53:05 nto bootpd[1032222-1]: /home/tftpd/hello.ifs has size 387152
Mar 28 10:53:05 nto bootpd[1032222-1]: devctl SIOCSARP failed: File exists

Can someone help me?

Thanks

And there is also that about bootpd:

Mar 31 14:15:19 nto bootpd[749600-1]: devctl SIOCSARP failed: File exists

I don’t know if it is an error or not…

Me neither. But if I were to guess since it seems to have something to do
with ARP, bootp is probably trying to set an IP address for the mac address
it received a request from that already exists. It’s possible the IP
address is already assigned to the mac address of the machine that is trying
to boot (which would be ok I guess) or to a different machine (could create
problem)

I have sniffed the network and the bootp server send the right IP to the
client. But tftp doesn’t start…

Something must be wrong the the config files, but since I’ve only done that
2-3 times I’m not familliar enough to make any suggestion, sorry. Bonne
Chance.

This is a bug in ARP. I was told it has been fixed in 6.2.1. If you use pre 6.2.1 version you can solve the problem calling 'arp -d ', where the is IP address of the client you expect to send a boot request. Don’t forget to call this command prior to each request.

Can someone help me?

Thanks
