Er, sorry... wrong notes... Try: echo 2048 32767 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range This information can be found in the "The kernel download from the TFTP server stops and times out" answer of the Technical FAQ section from the Linux/MIPS HOWTO: http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO/MIPS-HOWTO.html#ss10.1
Tried this, and the no_pmtu_disc. I should have included the following in the data on 'chupacabras', the dhcp and tftp host:
steve@chupacabras:cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_local_port_range 2048 32767 steve@chupacabras:cat /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_no_pmtu_disc 1 Thanks for your reply and the link. Any other ideas? Steve
