Network bootable Floppy.

[agrawaln]

Hi,

I have a floppy that boots and loads TCPIP for connecting to network in DOS mode.

everytime I boot my system using this floppy, it gets its IP address from DHCP server.

I would like to assign a static IP address to this floppy. I found that the PROTOCOL.INI file on the floppy contains some field like ADDRESS, MASK, DEFAULT GATEWAY. But when I define addresses for these fields, I get an error and TCPIP driver still gets its IP address from DHCP server.

Can anyone help me by teling in what format I have to define the addesses in PROTOCOL.INI?

regards

Nilesh

You need to go to the DHCP Server options via admin tools and assign the same static ip as you did in the protocol.ini file.
This way the server won't offer up a dynamic ip.
