K2000 PXE-E32 TFTP Open Timeout
New Kace appliances. Asked networking to populate dhcp option 66 = ip for k2000, option 67 = k2000.0 and to limit scope to a small subnet.
network boot fails at pxe-e32 tftp open timeout. burned the kbe_x64_34 to cd, it boots okay = get the menu.
read a ton of other questions that were real close, but have not found a solution. what am i missing?
thanks in advance

what are all the options set on that subnet? I am trying to find the post about if you have an option set from another imaging program, it could give you problems.
Could also be your bios version on the PC you are pxe booting with, there is a rash of bad bios's released by intel in the last couple of years that break pxe from working. This blog is about dell systems, but the problem is not limited to Dell or Kace, it is form intel.

have the network people put a sniffer on that box to verify that options 66 and 67 are coming thru correctly. - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

I think it was option 60, if set could give problems - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

we are only running the following options
003 router

I asked networking to "put a sniffer on that box..." I got the latest BIOS, have tried multiple computers. - gjhill 11 years ago

the pxe boot reports client IP (okay), mask (255.255.255.0), DHCP IP (DHCP IP not the K2000 IP), gateway IP (of subnet).
I saw a video on youtube where they populated the dhcp in the k2000 with a range of IPs, do I need to do this? or should the college's dhcp take care of that?
thanks for the help... - gjhill 11 years ago-
the k2000's dhcp will work only on that subnet - SMal.tmcc 11 years ago

networking added the k2000 IP in option 244, no change. when I try to tftp from windows I can see: Apr 16 18:53:19 k2000 in.tftpd[46086]: RRQ from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx filename kbe_windows_x86/kace/bcm/k57n60x.inf in the tftp logfile but the report on my computer is "timeout occurred, connect request failed". I can ping the box. Is there somewhere I need to set connection rules in the k2000? - gjhill 11 years ago
