Laptop not booting from PXE

[Little-Miss]

This laptop has been on this network before it went away for repair, other Toshiba's are happy to PXE!! WHY NOT THIS ONE, DAMNIT WHY!!! lol!!

Try this: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/thws-20080916103428.zip

(Can't recall if I sent you that link already)

 

This should be the HWSETUP tool you need - also your EduGeek Inbox is full

Hmm. What was wrong with the Tosh? If the board has been replaced and the nic is onboard then the mac address would surely change. If the WDS is set to only respond to known clients then maybe you need to pre-stage the tosh laptop. This puts the machine in the AD already and then the client is known. It should then pick up the image and rename the client according to what is in the AD.

 

I may be barking up the wrong tree though. Not used WDS /RIS in years.

 

It's the only thing i can think of since you say you haven't changed anything and nothing else has been tinkered with.

Little-Miss,

 

Can you confirm the three IP addresses that i mentioned in #25?

 

If the Toshiba is being given the IP address of your DHCP server to boot from (which you hinted at earlier) it sounds like your DHCP configuration is setup incorrectly.
