BINL Server Does Not Respond and DHCP Packets Not Forwarded Error Message Appears

  • Article

The user attempts to use Remote OS Installation to install Windows 2000 on his or her computer, but no boot information negotiation layer (BINL) server responds to his or her request. An error message appears that indicates that the DHCP packets are not forwarded.

Possible Causes:

There is a router between the RIS server and the clients, and the router is not set to forward DHCP to clients.

Diagnostic Tests:

Follow the router's instructions for setting up a DHCP relay agent to send packets to the DHCP server. If the RIS server is also on the other side of the router, you might need to follow the same steps to forward the packets to the RIS server.
