I'm trying to boot diskless machine with 3c905C
network card over network. I have set up DHCPd on
server machine but i got only this message on client:
DHCP.... ( with further dots until time-out ) but
I know that DHCP server responds - here is snippet of
DHCPd log:
Listening on LPF/eth1/00:04:76:97:8e:e2/192.168.1.0
Sending on LPF/eth1/00:04:76:97:8e:e2/192.168.1.0
Listening on LPF/eth0/00:01:02:fa:16:46/147.231.4.0
Sending on LPF/eth0/00:01:02:fa:16:46/147.231.4.0

DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.1 to 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1

DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1

DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.1 to 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1
DHCPDISCOVER from 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1
DHCPOFFER on 192.168.1.1 to 00:04:76:97:8e:e7 via eth1
and so on...
So client asks for ip address and server responds but
client keep asking like if it didn't get any response.
Also I'm not sure whether the problem is not in consequent
tftp download of kernel image but I would expect that
at least "DHCP......" message would vanish, and tcpdump
doesn't show and tftp activity.
Thanks for any ideas

Here is my dhcpd.conf with maybe some redundant options:
# dhcpd.conf
#
# Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd
#
# option definitions common to all supported networks...
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;

use-host-decl-names on;
subnet 147.231.4.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
