So basically i have WinServer2008. Its running WDS with my Windows 7 image setup. I then followed this tutorial here and incorporated PXELINUX into the mix to be able to also serve out ISO files. Mainly WinPE based images built using WinBuilder to be able to trouble shoot issues on unbootable windows machines.
So i have a working PXE Boot process where it loads my pxelinux menu and i currently have two boot options in the PXELINUX.CFG/Default file which are the following.
This, which boots the Win7 image within WDS. When this boots, its loads at full GBIT speeds on my lan.
LABEL wds7
MENU PASSWD
MENU LABEL Windows ^7 eCore 70500
KERNEL pxeboot.0
And
LABEL ^Win7PE EETech - Minimal Version
kernel memdisk
APPEND iso raw initrd=YOUNGWINPEDSS7MIN.ISO
When this loads, for some reason it only runs at 100mbit, on the gbit lan. Im guessing its because of PXELINUX limitation? So i came across a thread on here about iPXE and UNDIONLY.kPXE supporting full gbit speeds.
My problem is im not sure why im getting even worse speeds then PXELINUX. Heres how im trying to use iPXE instead.
I added this menu entry to the DEFAULT file for PXELINUX
LABEL test
MENU LABEL test
KERNEL IPXE.KRN
This boots me into iPXE, i then tried doing INITRD HTTP://MYPC/YOUNGWINPEDSS7MIN.ISO
But this loads the file at only 10MBIT!
Is there not a way to utilize the full gbit lan speeds? When i boot the WDS image, it utilizies it. But iPXE and PXELINUX does not.
