DHCP Option 66 (or TFTP) was created by jason-nssl
I have a 2830n dual band which I have just upgraded to firmware version 3.6.4.

I am trying to boot using PXE via a TFTP sever so that I am able to build or run systems in a disk-less manner

The problem I am having is that when I set the details for the TFTP server IP address (192.168.128.246) within the CLi, the TFTP address does not get used by an Intel card when booting via the internal PXE client.

When booting the PXE client, the correct options are passed to the client (I found this by packet sniffing with Wireshark), but when the PXE client tries to use the information to boot from the file (contained within option 67), the PXE client looks for the file on the Draytek (192.168.128.100).

why would this happen?

any help on this would be appreciated
