Hi,

  A few things to follow:

- Make sure the phone is set to use DHCP.
- Make sure in the same configuration screen that it honors option 66.
- Here is a fraction from my dhcpd.conf file:

option domain-name "phones.huji.ac.il";
option domain-name-servers 10.64.0.3, 10.64.0.4;
ddns-update-style ad-hoc;
default-lease-time 3600;
max-lease-time 7200;
authoritative;
option option-66 code 66 = string;
option option-67 code 67 = string;
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-160 code 160 = string;

subnet 10.64.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  default-lease-time 3600;
  max-lease-time 7200;
  option routers 10.64.1.1;
  option ntp-servers 10.64.0.3;
  range 10.64.1.250 10.64.1.252;
  range dynamic-bootp 10.64.1.253 10.64.1.254;
}

host phone-cc-80601-401 {
        default-lease-time 600000;
        hardware ethernet 00:04:f2:14:7a:9d;
        fixed-address 10.64.1.20;
        option option-66 "tftp://10.64.0.3/POLYCOM_OLD_501/";
}
Next, try to boot and run TCPDUMP in parallel. Send me its output
(preferably the CAP file).
