Hello Saeed
When the TFTP service is running on a different machine than the DHCP or BOOTP service, you need to add option 066 (next-server) to the DHCP/BOOTP server configuration, and set this option's value to the IP address or "resolvable hostname" of the TFTP server. When option 066 (next-server) is not defined, the PXE client assumes that the TFTP service is running on the same machine from which it received its DHCP/BOOTP configuration information.
Usually option 66 contains the FQDN of your PXE Server.
Is your TFTP Service on the same DHCP Server or on a different Machine, Try to add option 66 under DHCP scope options (Next Server) and check if this resolves your issue.
If this does not help you check if you are comfortable using the IP helper table to point to the TFTP server.
