[Dnsmasq-discuss] problem with dnsmasq and pxe boot

[tat at riseup.net]

Hello,
I try to configure dnsmasq to send information to PXEClients,
so far it hasn't worked.

I have set up a dhcp3d on a other debian box, this serves the PXEClients
without problem, than i run ethereal and captired the dhcp REQUEST
and RESPONSE from both hosts, the packets i captured don't really differ.
I also checked if the PXEClient actually requests the tftpd for the boot
file, it is not ( ofcourse it does when run with dhcp3d, just nut when i
use dnsmasq ).

Any idea what i could do wrong?

dnsmasq
    Version:     2.22
    Architectur: MIPS (openwrt)

I added the captured packets(text dump) from ethereal and my dnsmasq.conf.
Plus i atached a ethereal capture file with two packets,
package 1 (IP 192.168.99.5) = dhcp3d
package 2 (IP 192.168.99.1) = dnsmasq

here is the packet from dhcp3d

I don't see a real difference between, but dhcp3d is working and dnsmasq
not.

Here is my dnsmasq.conf
