lanboot for Itanium 11.23

Hi.

I'm trying to boot Itanium system 11.23
via lancard. I'm using ignite-server with
configured bootd: /etc/inetd.conf and
/etc/bootptap - files. I'm sure in configuration /MAC,IP,SM,GW,DS and so on/. I'm trying to boot from core build-in netcard
and also both mashines are in 1 subnet.
Anyway the result is:


Shell> lanboot select
01 Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(0013215B7690)
02 Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(2|1)/Mac(0013215B7691)
Select Desired LAN: 01
Selected Acpi(HWP0002,100)/Pci(2|0)/Mac(0013215B7690)

Running LoadFile()

CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 13 21 5B 76 90

PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received.
Exit status code: Invalid Parameter

Any other idea why this happened?
Where is the problem.

PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received.

Client did not receive a valid PXE offer. This error is displayed for a number
of reasons:

- There are no Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) or proxyDHCP servers
that can receive the clients DHCP discover packets.

- There are no DHCP or proxyDHCP servers that can transmit DHCP offer packets
to the client.

- The DHCP and/or proxyDHCP offer packets received by the client do not contain
enough information to complete a remote boot.

So perhaps checking for a wrong MAC and IP address somewere in the /etc/bootptab file on the Ignite server might help ... ?

As may upgrading version of ignite is this is an old version ... ?
