<tt>Can you capture the DHCP transaction with Wireshark or 'tcpdump'
and filter it for DHCP and share the resulting packets as an e-mail
attachment? I don't quite understand what you mean by the client
sending an empty boot filename. Do you mean it makes a TFTP request
with an empty filename? If so, do you have a Control-B CLI? If so,
can you please try:</tt><br>
<br>
<tt> dhcp net0</tt><br>
<tt> show filename</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>and report whether or not you got a filename from the DHCP service?</tt><br>

it, so we should keep that in mind.<br>

Hmmm... Here's a re-send. I somehow messed up the iPXE mailing-list
in the carbon-copy list.<br>
