Hi,
sorry for the OT message but I didn't know where I had to post this question.

I'm using some Aminet 110 and Aminet 125 but I haven't a Linux DHCP server; so I need to configure my Windows 2000 DHCP server to use it with Aminet. Is this possible ? How can I use my dhcpd.conf on windows ?

Thank you very much and sorry again for the OT.

Hi

I had the same issue before,
is your STB has already the image in the flash or its totally fresh ?
if its fresh then you need a linux machine [for mcabootd service ] and also for dhcp.

if there is already an image in the flash, then you can use any dhcp,
I was using MagikDHCP Server over windows XP home, and the Amino 110 could able to get IP address and access to th portal web page.

Thanks

>for mcabootd service

could you give us more details about this service ? i have looked at google but nothing... is it a proprietary service for amino devices ?

My old tests on amino aminet 125 were with a debian dhcp server but i think i lacked some amino specific configuration parameters...

Hi again

http://www.magikinfo.com/dhcp/bin/DHCP.zip

this is normal simple dhcp, amino can get the IP address from any dhcpd [even default windows dhcp] but it can't update the software.

this is just to give the STB an ip addres so it can access to the portal page.

i am using this magic dhcpd server because there is no default dhcpd server coming with windows XP or Home [only with server editions].

let me know if you able to make it work.
