Yes I was just reading the same today; that a md5 hash is created from the contents of the config file and if it doesnt match when the modem reg's, it won't run.

not a lot of use doing it then?

Apparently not, I was just wondering as G77 sent me some. I am going to try them tonight, as I haven't had time so far.

isn't that the difference when autoserving without dhcp bypass?

it uses the config stored in flash but still gets the one from tftp for registration?

Well I just tested some editing and stuff and nothing was working for me.

Interestingly, even if I change the settings back to how they were, and then save the config and serve it, it doesn't work, but the original untouched config works fine.

Must be something to do with the auth string.

in what way did they not work?

these are problems which come before we've got anywhere near the tftp bit
