Re: BOOTP record too large

[Bob Edwards <Robert.Edwards@anu.edu.au>]

Hi Joe,

I don't know if this will fix it for you, but I discovered that if I
didn't put in a "gw=" and/or a "ds=" field, that I got the same error
message that you are reporting. Try putting in the "gw=" field first,
and if that doesn't fix it, try the "ds=" field as well.

I haven't time to experiment with this at the moment - I hope it works
for you.

Cheers,

Bob Edwards.
