I just tried it with our department's anonymous FTP server. It didn't work, but the behavior was slightly different in that I don't get a "Can't load boot file!!" message. Instead, I quickly get the boot prompt back: [VxWorks Boot]: @ boot device : eeE unit number : 0 processor number : 0 host name : ftp file name : /pub/people/scott/hw.coff inet on ethernet (e) : 128.112.42.102 host inet (h) : 128.112.136.11 user (u) : anonymous ftp password (pw) : scott@cs flags (f) : 0x0 target name (tn) : ixp1200a BSP IXP Version: 1.0.1129, built on May 31 2000, 10:29:10 Early serial debug initialized muxLoad [VxWorks Boot]: Tftp *should* work.

I have also started using the new boards. However, I am using it with regular ftp ( the flags are set to 0). There it can load the image. Did you try with regular FTP ?
