I seem to be having the same or similar problem (see [Unattended] DHCP not found)
I tried the alternate image without success as well as adding the new lines sugustted by M$ (although they were not set to infinite- I guess that is stupid from what I've read on the ISC site) Here is the DCHP log file after pxelinux came online Jul 23 14:31:18 Server dhcpd: overriding dhcp-renewal-time for 0.0.0.0.
