No, you're getting the lack of install because they aren't talking from a network level. Is the image server providing dhcp for the target client? on the target, after failure, do a netstat -nr and see what the routes look like. These two boxes really need to be on the same subnet to simplify troubleshooting. are they on a switch together? compare the ip address on the target to the one on the server and see if they are on the subnet. If they are private ip addresses, you can send me the addresses and netmasks and I'll see if I see a problem. If they are public ip addresses...well, let's just say I prefer to have these things occur on a private network, preferably unconnected to any other network.
