[ipxe-devel] Windows having problems parsing iBFT from recent iPXE versions?

[Oliver Rath]

Hi Floris,

be sure, that your dhcp-server offers dns-namesrver via dhcp-6 option.
Ive got problems with name-resolution, too. In my case it was the better
way to send correct netbios-server via dhcp-44 option for name-resolution.

Additionally, i miss the "dhcp" keyword on your ipxe-setup.

Hth,
Oliver
