Marcus,

This error is generated because you have the BOOTP service enabled but no
configuration file. Rather than creating a configuration file you can
disable the BOOTP service.

o Log on as MANAGER.SYS,NET.
o Edit the file INETDCNF.NET.SYS
o Comment out the line that begins with "bootps" by placing a "#" in the
first column.
o Enter the command ":inetd.net -c" to make the inetd job re-read the
configuration file.

HTH.

Doug.
