In a windows-server only environment you need a dhcp server, a NFS server and a tftp server (to provide an IP, the root filesystem, and the to-be-booted image). There's been some writeup on how to do this, I think you'll find information on the ltsp.org website (contrib section). Note that you could theoretically go without the tftp server (using etherboot and NFS download method), but this is just another point of failure, so let's not do this right now. I assume you get the error message "file not found" (tftp error 1). This usually means exactly what it says, the client requests a filename, but the server cannot locate that file. You should take into account here that occasionally the filename that client requests is prepended by a "/tftpboot" by the tftp server - this is a security measure to assure that only files inside that directory can be retrieved. Wether or not this happens can be configured in /etc/inetd.conf or /etc/xinetd.d/tftp (depends which internet superserver you use) - but this has been explained in detail before. What in your case would be a reasonable attempt is that you check the filename that the client requests, and see if it exists in the /tftpboot subdir. If that still nt helps, create it without prepending /tftpboot. If that still not helps, I'd like you to send your dhcpd.conf, /etc/inetd.conf (if exists), /etc/xinetd.d/tftp (if exists).
