Where to find working pxesrv
All the Tiny pxe servers (pxesrv) that I can find say they are starting "10:19:54 AM TFPTd 192.168.1.10:69 started..." not TFTPd
 and the server does not start.  I guess that I need an older version.  Does anyone have one or know where I can get one?

Thanks in advanced.

My  pxesrv  file is about 20MB.  The oldest date that I see is early March 2025.  It worked OK two weeks ago.

PXE Srv
Almost positive I got it from

erwan.labalec.fr

This site and a couple others are
listed in AREDN Docs just above the First Install Checklists section.  And I think I used it on a pair of SXTsq 5 ac nodes and a hAP ac2.  I set the MikroTik System/RouterBoard/Settings to have "try ethernet first then NAND" Boot Protocol.  That way you do not have to mess with the
Reset button.  Get everything ready to go outside the node, then power on the node, and it goes to Tiny PXE Svr and gets the rb.elf file.

Good luck!

Another Thing re PXE Srv
Tom -

When trying to use PXE Srv, you need to set up your service computer so it will work.  This means enabling paths (set rules) through the firewalls and anti-virus apps so that PXE Srv can communicate with your node.  I had a lot of frustration before I learned that.

I programmed a  hAP ac3  tonight with my Win 11 PC running the PXE Srv that I got last March.  A few challenges, but following the AREDN Docs instructions worked.
