I have troubles using the ethernet generic version of BOOTP from FTP Inc.
Although there are 6 BOOTP Servers responding (definitely right responding),
my PC cant't get its IP address. I have tried all options and
different packet drivers, too. This error is really mysterious, because
sometimes it works, but in 95%, it won't. I am using an IBM P70 with an
3C523 Ethernet card, but had the same problem with an IBM 50Z and
a WD8003E card, too.
Please write, if someone has had similar problems, and if a workable
solution is possible.
