Rick 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) James ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by the 2008 JavaOne(SM) Conference Don't miss this year's exciting event.
