Hi there,

PXE network boot:
When the client connects, the message window appears but the bootfile is not transfered.
IP is allocated OK.
I receive the above error message (in the log window).

What can I do about it?
I can't see what am I doing wrong.

Thanks,

Bill

The acknowlegde of block 0 is sent by the client when the server uses specific options. Thus, you should have a trouble in the settings.

You can try to check/uncheck Option negotiation. You may also try PXE compatibilty.

Hi

I had the same problem. I found out here http://blog.webpirates.co.uk/?p=56 that the PC you want to boot MUST be on the same subnet as your TFTP server.

My server was on 192.168.1.xx, I had set up the Tftp32 DHCP to the 10.1.1.xx range and got the timeout error. Changing the DHCP addresses to the 192.168.1.xx range sorted the problem for me.

Hope this helps
