Hi, I just downloaded the latest NETINSTALL (1.15) and OS (2.9.6) so that I can re-install my RB532 (I lost the admin password…
) I set the board to boot off of Ethernet and I run the NETINSTALL program on my PC, but the board never gets the “Client IP” address I assigned in NETINSTALL - it just times-out:
“trying bootp protocol…failed”
I’ve tried switching the board to using DHCP instead of BOOTP. I’ve tried connecting the board directly to the PC using a crossover cable. I’ve tried using the other two Ethernet ports (ETH2 and ETH3). I’ve made sure that Windows Firewall is turned off.
If I run Ethereal on the PC, I can see the DHCP/BOOTP requests, but apparently NETINSTALL is never seeing them.
Any ideas?
