Dear Mohan et al,This seems to be something which depends a lot on the DHCP server in use. I run OTC in a VM with the network adaptor in bridged mode. With a TP-Link router doing DHCP, PXE works with no issues. The same is true if I am using named and dhcpd. However, if I use dnsmasq instead then I need to specify both the the OTC server IP address and the boot file name in the configuration file, or PXE fails. Whether OTC would see the new client in these circumstances, I don't know, as the clients had already been added before I changed the network topology. Mohan - are you in a position where you can use Wireshark on the network? This will allow you to determine which step is failing.
Also, just to be clear, this is a machine which is new to the server which is being PXE'd, yes? When you say that the PXE machine is not recognised, you mean that the machine's IP address is not appearing in the PXE section of the OTC manager display? OTC won't let you actually PXE boot a client until you have authorised it.

Just configure your dhcp server to provide ip settings. OTC will handle pxe request by his self. Try to deactivate every kind of firewall. And OTC and dhcp must not be on the same Server.

Option 66 will contain the ip or FQDN of your OTC Server Option 67 will contain the name of your bootfile For OTC you only need to set option 66.
