| 9 | h2. How does it work? |
||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | First, your computer requests an ip address, the server provides it with one, when it gets it, it sees a special flag on the packet received from the server. It contains information about a TFTP server it should connect to and get further instructions there. |
||
| 12 | |||
| 13 | When it does get those instructions, it executes them and what that produces is what you see. |
