Need help with PXE install

B

Trying to install Vista on this PC has been such a massive pain in the ass.

There are very few DVD drives it will boot from, so I need to use PXE over the net. And thats not exactly working correctly as of right now.

I'm using this guide as the starting point:

http://personal.ryantadams.com...h-tftp-and-windows-pe/

I've tried this both through a router and directly connecting (both straight through, dont have crossover).

Using the configuration almost exactly as described on the guide - I didnt change the IP of the server from its current 192.168.1.20 to the 192.168.1.5 as suggested, as I'm not sure why the hell that would matter.

Through the router, I've made sure to turn off the DHCP server on the router, and to have the pxe server assign addresses outside of the range that the router would normally assign to.

The DHCP server on TCP says it assigned the IP to the mac address given by the laptop (ends with 16). Then looking at the log:

Rcvd DHCP Discover Msg for IP 0.0.0.0, Mac 00:0E:7B:C7:9E:16 [12/05 22:04:27.683]
Client requested address 0.68.101.68 [12/05 22:04:27.683]
DHCP: proposed address 192.168.1.90 [12/05 22:04:39.595]

DHCP: proposed address 192.168.1.90 [12/05 22:05:15.595]

The laptop then says: PXE-E51: No DHCP or ProxyDHCP offers were received.

Any ideas?
 
What router do you have? For the PXE Client to connect to the Tftp server make sure you have these DHCP options listed: name: filename value:"pxelinux.0" name: next-server value: IP of PXE Server
I have my IPCop linux router DHCP setup with these options and TFTP works great. You might have advanced DHCP options in your router if you look around.

I haven't tried DHCP server with TFTPd32 but have it booting PXE Knife. http://pxeknife.erebor.org/
