CISCO Switch\Router Config and PXE
I am trying to load images from our WDS server to machines. Due to recent network changes I get an error now about something like unable to load PXE image during the boot. From what I can gather the new routers\switches are dropping the PXE boot image from the server and failing because that function has not been turned on. I am not an expert in these configurations and I need to know how to allow this type of traffic to flow from server to target machine. Complete and step by step info would be great! Thanks in advance!

I am not sure I will have to boot again and post the error results.

I am pretty sure that the target machine gets an ip address because the light turns green on the port.
Donboo, I am not sure how to configure these options but I have some associates that may. If you have any more info on how to do this that would be great. Thanks!

A few things:
As Donboo mentioned, are the clients on the same subnet as the WDS or DHCP server? If not, the routers should be configured for helpers as mentioned.
Is the WDS and DHCP server on the same machine? Look at Known issues with configuring Windows Deployment Services on this site: http://technet.microsoft.c

I am going to try and get the helpers configured.
WDS and DHCP are not on the same box. This was working up until a few days ago before the rerouting of the WDS server to a different Router\Switch. The hardest part is getting the helpers configured. I will try this out as soon as possible. Thanks!
