Pxe Boot does not time out.

[maniakmyke]

good morning everyone.

 

i am in the process of trying to get WDS to work in out live environment. everything works like a charm in the test lab and it is time to move over to live.

 

i have run into a strange issue when PXe booting a PC.

 

well first it does not pxe boot. however i do not get any errors.

 

the PXE boot screen looks like this.

 

CLIENT MAC ADDR (mac address shown) GUID (guid shown)

DHCP...............................................................................

........................................................................................

 

this will go on for as long as i allow it to before hitting esc.

 

so here is what i know.

server 2k8r2

DHCP is on different vlan then WDS

option 60 and do not listen on port 67 are UNCHECKED on DHCP tab in properties of WDS

DHCP and WDS servers have different IP but same subnet

all ports on routers are open.

 

if you need any further info please ask. i will be watching this thread for the next 3.5 hours then off and on for the rest of the day.

 

thank you in advance.
