Hey all,
I am experiencing a problem with my WDS PXE Environment, with 1 specific model of PC's only. This is a Dell XPS machine with an Intel e1000 nic in it.
The problem is that when you PXE Boot, it starts off fine, and I reach a menu that has all of my boot images listed, but as soon as you pick one it hangs on a black screen.
From the event viewer on the server I can see the following entry:
The Following Client failed TFTP Download:
IP: 10.130.148.211
Filename: \Boot\Boot.SDI
ErrorCode: 1460
I've done some google searching and found some topics that could be related, but none of the fixes mentioned helped me. This is the one I tried:
The problem I had was that the link they gave to the Hotfix, doesnt actually have anyway to download the hotfix!!

Although I am not convinced that packet size is the problem here, more likely some network or disk controller driver issues??
No idea at all where to go from here. It is only this one model of PC that fails, and all others work fine. If someone can point me in the right direction it would be very greatly appreciated.
I would be happy to provide you with any additional details you may require.
Thanks,
-Ben
