[Etherboot-discuss] gpxe chainloading gets DHCP connection timeout but manually ok

[Sonny Li <shi...@mi...>]

I have tried a lot time and do many research, but don't get it work.

My problem is:
I setup a windows2003 DHCP server and solarWinds TFTP server.  I downloaded the pre-build gpxe driver from http://rom-o-matic.net for my NIC card

After my client power-on, it

1)      get iP address from dhcp server, ---- OK

2)      then contact tftp server, get gpxe 0.9.7+  -- open source boot firmware - http://etherboot.org     ---- OK

3)      after that, get problem:   DHCP (net0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx) .........  connection timed out (0x4c106035) , no more network devices

if I control-B after the gpxe, and manually run
>dhcp net0

I can correctly get:  DHCP (net0 xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx)  .... OK
