&quot;Wake on LAN&quot; <br />
You can enable this option from each of the Workstations' BIOS. <br />
Inside the BIOS there is an option called WAKE ON LAN. Enable it ! from then then WSs will start when you will start the centralized Server. <br />

Wake on LAN and Network boot have nothing to do with each other.<br />
<br />
Network boot allows you to boot your machine based on a boot image stored on a remote server - usually served up in tftp format.<br />
<br />
A great example of this is Microsoft's RIS (Remote Installation Service) which allows you to install your pre-programmed images onto your workstations by simply booting them to the network, and choosing which image to install.<br />

Yep<br />
But i told him how to start the PC from a remote place. He needs a PXe enabled NIC to install windows/linux to start a Windows installation from a remote machine. RIS is a good example . <br />

ok. I have several computers that when they boot up have the option of going to setup (bios), booting or booting from the network. My question is how does this &quot;booting from the network&quot; work. I have 5 computers. All have winxp on them but I can't boot from any network?

boot from network

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
