Michael I am not seeing any iscsi attempts with wire shark. Only arp requests.
The only thing out of the ordinary with this set up is. It all lives in VMware except for clients I am running ESXi that hosts my Ubuntu DHCP server and Windows Storage Server 2008. NIC on ESXi is connected to a switch that connects my client and firewall, the Storage server can ping dhcp and FW gateway and any other VM I bringup. My client can successfully chain load from http://etherboot.org/gtest/gtest.gpxe. I can also gPXE boot a vm and connect to the iscsi target I have confirmed the firewall in Storage server is off and its routing table looks normal I am stumped!

You could try pinging gPXE from the Win2k8 server to verify that they can see each other: press Ctrl-B to get to the gPXE shell, type "dhcp net0" and then "route" to see what IP address is assigned to gPXE, then try pinging that IP address from the Win2k8 server. You could also try running wireshark on the Win2k8 server to see if the iSCSI connection attempts from gPXE are showing up at all. HTH, Michael
