Re: SPA 942 Admin reset

["u7412ay" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick,

That is the article that I found and was following albeit using a Win7
machine with OpenDHCP and TFTPD32. Following your comments have gone back
and taken another look and have made some progress as I hadn't realised
that the Bootp type 66 record was in the DHCP response, I asumed it was a
follow on request but after some more reading about DHCP I see I have to
configure a "next server" in the DHCP config pointing at the TFTP
server which has solicited some more traffic from the phone so will go look
at the new trace to see what to setup next!

Thanks
Allan
