[pxes-devel] PXES fails at second DHCP

[Dray, G. <Gre...@el...>]

Hi all,

First time posting to the list, so my apologies if the topic has already
been covered.
I have set up a TFTP server on a Win2k domain controller in a test
environment, I followed the instruction etc and copied the files to the
TFTP directory. All goes well on booting the test client, it gets its IP
from DHCP ok, downloads the ramdisk etc. At the BOOT: prompt I choose
pxes247 (haven't been able to get 2.4.20 working).
PXES then starts detecting hardware, it seems to detect the network card
ok (SIS900 onboard) sets the mode etc then it pauses for a while, maybe
15-20 seconds. Then it comes back with an error saying it cant find a
DHCP server, or words to that effect, even though it has successfully
got an address already and downloaded the necessary files to get that
far.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Greg
