In the scope options you need to define a few extra options:

060 PXEclient with value: PXEClient
066 Boot server host name with value: x.x.x.x (ip address of your bootserver)
067 bootfile name with value: boot\x86\boot.com (the path to the bootfile on your system, this is an example).

hi
1. i don't have option 060 PXE client
2.067 bootfile name -i need to give a linux path like : debian-server/srv/tftp/images ?
1. Did you also check under server options to add it there?
2. The path without the server name (you allready defined that) and with the boot image name so like: srv/tftp/images/image.name
when i try to add a value to the 060 string that i created ,it doesn't allow me to give PXE client value it ask me to give a numeric value
