Re: DHCP problem

I checked the meaning of PXE-E53: it means the client did get a DHCP offer
but dose not have a boot filename to download.

1 is not a real issue :'(
For informaion, if it's high, it indicates errors on the network level.
Error rate for Ethernet is 10^-9.
If it's high, it may be a duplex trouble or network cable or switch
(collision, buffer low...)

Yes. In the Sent column, it has a value of 1.

What does that mean? And how should I fix that?

No, I haven't been able to get any DHCP offer.
Restarting the Windows Deployment Service dose not help and I actually
I
already specified pxeboot.n12 as the boot file.

In network monitor, I noticed something like this:


The table should look like this :
Network Addr 1 1-->2 2-->1 Network Addr 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
client MAC 25 *BROADCAST
server MAC 7 6 client MAC
server MAC 6 *BROADCAST



The second line in the table was generated when I was giving command
'ipconfig /renew' on my client machine . And in the network log file,
I
can
see there're pairs of DHCP request and DHCP ack.

The first and third line was generated when I tried to network-boot my
client machine .

Do you have any ideas what's going on?

thx

So you get a dhcp lease now ?

Yes it should include a small file to get by tftp
Restart the service and check for error in the eventlog

I keep getting the error like this
PXE: no boot file name received

Does this mean my PXE server (WDS service) has some problems?

One server is running DHCP and another is running Windows
Deployment
Service.
I already authorized both servers .

The problem is the workstation can't even get the DHCP offer in
the
first
place.
Somehow it can't see the DHCP offer sent by the DHCP server.

I'll try what you suggest and post back with my results.

thx

Could you try with another network card / PC / cable ?

If you remove the lease (from previous boot) on the dhcp
server
and
try
again ?

Is it a RIS Server ? If so, is it still authorized, all
services
(remote
installaiton) started ?

Thank you for the reply.

In our test environment, we use a hub to connect two servers
and one
workstation.
I did not even get prompted to press F12 because the
workstation
could
not
get DHCP offer at all.

is the port on the switch forced to 100/full duplex or
other
than
auto
?

So you press F12 but doesn't get a dhcp lease ?

Is it a cisco switch ? It may turn on but block it to
evaluate
spanning
tree. It may take 30 secondes, more time than the time to
get
the
PXE.

Hi,

My Windows XP Pro with SP2 box couldn't get DHCP offer
when I
tried
to
boot
it from network. But it does not have problem with
getting
DHCP
offer
from
the same DHCP server after the OS is up and running.

I looked at Windows Network Monitor when I tried to
network-boot
the
machine, I saw the machine sent a DHCP request and the
DHCP
server
replied
with a correct DHCP offer, but somehow the machine did
not get
that
offer.

Could anyone help me out?

thx

Yifei
