This indicates that your PC is NOT able to receive/process past the startup file. Appears that you PC is being served by your server, but your PC is stopping for some reason. I have seen this and most often times this is due to a firmware upgrade needed for the MB or the NIC on the MB. Contact the PC manufacturer for that fix.ShellyCat wrote: ...

In the meantime, try another PC or laptop.
I don't believe JamesBond built that in. I think he just picked a range and ran with it. There are some other more technical details that would be topic for another thread about the PXE protocols.ShellyCat wrote: ... Other solutions implied as much. Does your program check automatically?
NO! As I mentioned that is a topic for a different thread. Has to do with LAN protocols.ShellyCat wrote: Or is it still possible to have DHCP conflicts?
You mentioned that Firewall are essential on PCs but, yet, you haven't been running one on your PUP. Don't mean to burst any bubbles, but your PUP isn't infected with trojan, now is it? So, maybe you've just learn a little for investigation on your part about why M$ does and PUPs don't. (On this F/W topic, let's NOT discuss that here . PXE and Netbooting has little to nothing to do with Firewalls. I ONLY mentioned it because, sometimes, F/Ws can introduce issues and I wanted to rule those issues out in helping you.)ShellyCat wrote: ... Very common misconception. ,,,
In short, IFF you have a PXE PC that is functioning properly, that PC will boot over your LAN without you ever doing anything other than telling it to use its Network for booting.
Hope this helps
