That, just to be clear, is not the TFTP device's fault, it's the TFTP server's fault. Not even really a fault, exactly, but a bit of security paranoia on the part of the typical tftpd implementation, plus a lack of a robust means of propagating the server administrator's configuration error back to the frustrated user who is just trying to do what ought to be a simple and sensible operation. So it's not really Dell's fault. ... JG -- Joe Greco - sol.net Network Services - Milwaukee, WI - http://www.sol.net "We call it the 'one bite at the apple' rule.
