We would need more information.  Which version of Etherboot, which
driver, do other clients work?  Have you tried a different switch/patch
cables?  If the server has two NICs are you connected to the correct
nic?  Have you turned off iptables/firewall on the server?  Try running
tcpdump or ethereal on the server to see if the card is broadcasting at
all.

Drop by the irc channel listed at www.ltsp.org as there is generally
someone there who can help quickly.
