wireshark is easy to get and to use (on your server)
Instead of everyone poking in the dark, set wireshark to run and
feedback what is happening

IE
you should see the DHCP negotiation
then PXE and TFTP
then sieve (I assume edbantu uses squash images)
etc

Reporting what happened and if you can compare good and bad, what does
NOT happen will help enormously.

(and the network stuff *might* be the same good and bad saying the
problems is your clients)
