Once WDS is enabled you still need to tell WDS what to do. So you will need to either provide a Vista DVD, WinPE or preconfigured XP Wim file for it to use. <br />
<br />
Assuming of course you have DHCP etc installed elsewhere.<br />
<br />
See my other post on the whole WDS/MDT thing and look at the video, I think that will help you understand this a lot better.<br />
<br />
Cheers<br />

Mike the videos are not of WDS so firstly need to understand WDS as i get confused with multiple &nbsp;:-))<br />
Where can i get a preconfigured XP wim file?<br />
<br />
I created a Wim file from Vista. But still when i boot the client it does not detect the server<br />
It shows the ip but says &quot;File not found&quot;<br />
Is winpe required on this for any reason?
