You may find that the switches you are/where connected to are not set to auto-neg, this can cause JumpStart issues. It is possible to declare speeds at "boot net", but easier to either get the switches set correctly or go through the "direct" connect route. If both servers are using e1000/ce/nxge (gig connections) you do not need to use a cross-over, straight through will be OK. -- Bruce "The internet is a huge and diverse community and not every one is friendly" http://www.ytc1.co.uk

I deleted all the files in Did you edit the template with the new IP address before running make_client ? If the network is changed, oftne best to run remove_client then make_client. Feel free to send me the output of make_client and a copy of the template. > /tftpboot and ran make_client again.
