PXE Boot stopped working for HPs (but not Dells)

[beast_gts]

Hi everyone

We've got PXE booting set up for use with Ghost. Everything has been working fine but now we've noticed that HPs are not booting. They pick up the info from DHCP but don't respond to f12 (but the computer beeps if you keep mashing f12).

I've tried DC7600 (Broadcom NetXtreme), DC7700 (Intel 82566DM) & 530
laptops (Intel PRO/100 VE), all having the latest BIOS and network drivers.

A Dell 330 (Broadcom 5787) and an Intel Atom Mini-ITX (Realtek RTL8102E)
work fine.

Any thoughts?

Something that happened to us (Students - dont you love 'em!)
On the boot screen does it briefly say something like

'press shift + F10 to configure' ? - (before the PXE boot process)

Some of our students saw this and 'reconfigured' the card.

took us ages to work that one out.

Just a thought..................
