Ignoring DHCP settings

[Scotty]

G'day

I'm trying to put together a system which will enable us to disregard the settings for next-server and filename in DHCP as having to change that setting (which we can do even though we don't 'own' the DHCP server) is adding additional levels of complexity to our process.

After booting from IPXE and hitting Ctrl-P, then running dhcp I get the settings one would expect.

Editing those settings (either via config or using set commands) when I run

chain tftp://servername/pxelinux.0

it just times out.

However - when I get the next-server and filename settings in DHCP set to match the settings of the server and pxelinux.0 it works.

It seems that the existing settings from the DHCP server are still interfering.

The thread at

http://forum.ipxe.org/showthread.php?mod...85#pid4285

seems to address the same issue ... however I wasn't able to follow the suggested solution.

Any ideas?
