PXE-E51

[Rudolf Meier]

Hi

I don't get an IP on some PCs when booting from LAN (all those PCs have the
same NIC, so I think it's because of this... but this doesn't help me,
because they are onboard)... so, I get a PXE-E51 -> "no DHCP or proxyDHCP
offers were received" ... what can I do? I try to use a WDS and until now it
always worked... but not for the new machines...
It seems that a lot of people have this problem... but I didn't find a
solution for this...

thanks

ok... seems as if the NIC isn't powered up at the time it tryes to
communicate... at least my switch is reporting "link staus: down" ...
