TFTP Server (TFTPd)
TFTPD32: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/
A free TFTP server-service for windows
Configure TFTPD32 to run as a service. You can store the configuration in the
system registry or in an INI file in the working directory. Configure TFTPD32
to serve TFTP requests starting at your PXE storage location
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
When DHCP and Altiris Express are installed on the same server, DHCP will
automatically be configured with option 60, which tells the client to make a
boot information negotiation layer (BINL) request to the same server to
retrieve boot information; however we were placed in a situation where DHCP
option 60 needed to be configured manually.
Two more DHCP options which might come in useful are 66 (Boot Server Host
Name) and 67 (Bootfile Name). In a RIS environment, 67 would be set to
OSChooser\i386\startrom.com.
