For sometime now, i've been exclusively using Linux box for hosting remote clients booting with bootpd and tftpd. I would like to try adding Windows NT however NT does *not* support bootpd and tftpd, however has dhcp server. I believe dhcp server in NT does support some level of bootp thus NT dhcp server should be able to service bootp requests. I'm investigating this now. As for tftpd, NT does not have it. I guess William A. Arbaugh is the man who's looking to possibly integrate dhcp support into etherboot. I wonder how difficult would it be to inplement bootpd and tftpd using winsock under win32 platform? Best regards, -gshin
