Hello Prem,

When opening that panel, you should first decide which method of booting
you are going to use. If you need to make a boot floppy(which is
probably the easiest and most reliable), press the button on the panel
to do that. Then you should press the "Collect MAC Addresses" button. At
that point the wizard is listening to the network for dhcp requests. At
this point you should boot the clients using the floppy you created or
over the network adapter if they support PXE boot. The panel may hang
briefly during this process, but it should refresh whenever there is
network activity, so it shouldn't be long. When the client boots you
should see it sending DHCP requests and then see its MAC address in the
panel. You can then assign it to the client. 

So, at what point in this procedure are you having trouble? Is it right
when the panel comes up, or after starting the collection? Are you
getting any errors in the console that you started the wizard from?
