Hi Roy,

Here is a link for using tftpd32 on a Windows box:

     http://pxes.sourceforge.net/howtos/ms_only_environment/

I hope you find it enlightening.

If I might also offer a suggestion:

I have been reading your messages, and I must ask, what is it that  
you are trying to accomplish?
You have described difficulties getting this component or that to  
work, but never really explained what your larger goal is.  If you  
could describe it, perhaps we could be of more help to you.

Etherboot has a lot of capabilities and options.  It can load  
operating systems in a lot of ways.  Our documentation is currently  
rather out of date and not particularly coherent.  We do, however,  
have a lot of dedicated people who really want to help people succeed  
with Etherboot and network booting in general, and who would enjoy  
helping you.  We are working to improve our documentation as well.

So, please take a deep breath and tell us what you're really trying  
to do, and we'll suggest how you might use Etherboot to help you do  
it. (or not, if there's an easier way).

Thanks for taking the time to write, and we look forward to hearing  
from you.

Marty
