I set up Clonezilla/DRBL to capture an image, but my client, who was getting Internet through my Clonezilla server, could not PXE boot to the server. Could someone tell me things to check?
You have to give more details so that we can try to help you, including how you setup that in detail, step-by-step, and please show your configuration files.
BTW, normally PXE only works for LAN, not through internet.

Thanks, sorry for not providing these details sooner—I typed out
everything I did:
https://wiki.freeitathens.org/wiki/Setting_up_a_Clonezilla_server. It's
been too busy at the shop to set up 2 consecutive workstations. I went
back and looked at Debian DHCP configs, but I didn't see any IP address
settings. The client is getting an IP network that I didn't set.
Fortunately, it also isn't in our LAN, but it's close.
There were a couple other ideas I was going to try: "dcs" ->
clonezilla-start to make a menu when clients boot. I'm not sure what
this means, but I wanted to figure it out and try it somehow. I saw it
in the output of drblpush. I'm also thinking about setting the
clonezilla network interface to the same network that the client is
receiving, and I'm considering changing my DRBL settings for CPU arch to
x86_64 instead of 32bit. A couple minor changes are increasing the swap
size and changing the NIS domain to what the previous sysadmin used.

Error from client PC. I already installed Clonezilla Server and installed it additionally, but I get this error. I think there was no mistake in installation, but am I missing something? The third reinstall will produce the same error. Ubuntu 18.04 version.

Did you try to see the syslog on the DRBL server?
You should be able to find some clues why the file is not available to the clients.
You did not mention which version of GNU/Linux are you using. If it's CentOS, Fedora, remember to turn off selinux.
BTW, please follow
https://drbl.org/installation/
to setup your DRBL server, and make sure you check all the steps.
