I want to make a diskless router with FreeBSD. It recieves from dhcpd
IP-address, network mask, default router address. Than it tries to get
file pxeboot from tftp server and displays timeout. I tried to connect
to this tftp-server from many workstations - from Windows and FreeBSD,
not only from localhost. And any time i recieve timeout. Looks very
strange.
