1) Edit inetd.conf in the etc directory
   remove hash '#' from the following line
   #bootps dgram udp wait root /etc/bootpd bootpd
2) Create the bootptab in etc directory eg.

  fa:\
        :sm=255.255.252.0:\
        :ds=143.160.8.205,143.160.40.11:\
        :gw=143.160.8.200,143.160.8.2:\
        :ht=ethernet:\
        :hn:
  fa4:\
        :sm=255.255.252.0:\
        :ds=143.160.8.205,143.160.40.11:\
        :gw=143.160.12.200:\
        :ht=ethernet:\
        :hn:
  ad2:\
        :sm=255.255.252.0:\
        :ds=143.160.8.205,143.160.40.11:\
        :gw=143.160.16.200:\
        :ht=ethernet:\
        :hn:


pcOnFisrtSubnet:       tc=fa:          ha=02608c9a83df:     ip=143.160.9.1
pcOnSecondSubnet:      tc=fa4:         ha=02608c45ca64:     ip=143.160.12.3
pcOnLastSubnet:        tc=ad2:         ha=02608c4d05ba:     ip=143.160.16.1

end of eg.

sm = subnetmask
ds = domain nameserver(s)
gw = default gateway(s)
ht = hardware type (ethernet,token-ring etc)
ha = Network card hardware address

3) Restart inetd

4) Make changs to LWP client's net.cfg set ip address = 0.0.0.0

This sould do it !
