Trying to PXE boot a system connected to a DHCP server but will not connect does not get a response from the DHCP. Using Windows 2000 Advance Server as DHCP.
Just a question... Is the DHCP server you are trying to get an address from on the same subnet as the machine that is doing a PXE boot? (if not check router config to allow DCHP broadcast to traverse the router).
Also, I you DHCP server set up as DCHP only? I think you should try enabling both DCHP and BOOTP protocols. I pretty sure PXE uses BOOTP not DHCP protocol.
As WhoKilledKenny mentioned, if the DHCP server and the client are in different subnets, you would have to configure the router (IP HELPER ADDRESS) to allow broadcasts to cross the subnets.
