boot Error for jumpstart
Hi community,
I am installing Solaris 10 using a jumpstart installation. Both Server and Client are in the same netmask. When I perform the "boot net - install" command, I receive the following error:
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packets
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packets
Timeout waiting for ARP/RARP packets
and so on
Does anyone know the solution? Please it is very urgent.
Thank you very much!!

rarp
rarp(7P) Protocols rarp(7P)
NAME
rarp, RARP - Reverse address resolution protocol
DESCRIPTION
You use the RARP protocol to map dynamically between the Internet Protocol (IP) and network interface MAC addresses. RARP is often used to
boot a Solaris client. RARP clients include the SPARC boot PROM, x86 boot floppy, SunOS kernel, and ifconfig(1M). in.rarpd(1M) provides the
server-side implementation.
RARP request timeout behavior in application-layer clients is governed by the /etc/inet/rarp default file. To tune the number of retries an
application attempts before giving up, set the RARP_RETRIES variable in /etc/inet/rarp. If the file is not present or RARP_RETRIES is not
initialized within it, applications retry a maximum of five times with a eight second wait between retries.

/etc/inet/rarp
