No, I haven't been able to get any DHCP offer.
Restarting the Windows Deployment Service dose not help and I actually I
already specified pxeboot.n12 as the boot file.
In network monitor, I noticed something like this:
Network Address 1 1-->2 2-->1 Network Address 2
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
client MAC 25
*BROADCAST
server MAC 7 6
client MAC
server MAC 6
*BROADCAST
The second line in the table was generated when I was giving command
'ipconfig /renew' on my client machine . And in the network log file, I can
see there're pairs of DHCP request and DHCP ack.
The first and third line was generated when I tried to network-boot my
client machine .
Do you have any ideas what's going on?
thx
