BINL Server Does Not Respond and Debugging 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 BINL server needs debugging.

Possible Causes:

If either the DHCP server or the BINL server is running under a debugger, both services must run under the debugger. In this case, the BINL server responds only to clients that are on the same subnet as the BINL server.

Diagnostic Tests:

Run the debugger on both the DHCP and BINL servers, or run the debugger on neither of them.
