Ghost Solution Suite

Hello everyone,
I am encountering some issues with the network boot in one of our servers.
I use windows server 2003, on this server i have 3Com TFTP Server(TFTPCTRL.EXE), DHCP server and Symantec GhostCast Server 7.5 - we use this same configuration on other servers and do not encounter PXE-E55 error, i have tried to compare an error in configs without succes.

DHCP options are:
003 : Router
004: Time server
006: DNS server
012: Host name
013: Boot file size
046: WINS/NBT Node type
066: Boot server host name
067: Bootfile name

Client gets an ip adress after booting from PXE, also mask and DHCP ip is shown but afterwards PXE-E55 appears.

<SEE ABOVE>

Check port 4011 is open on any firewall involved.

Check there are no other PXE servers on the subnet that may be responding too.

Hello andykn101, thank you for the answer.

We got no other PXE servers on the subnet.

Port 4011 is open on our router. On symantec endpoint protection console i did not see anything in logs, however i have uninstalled SEP completly.

Still the same message appears, PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP

Are the DHCP requests being forwarded to the PXE server?

PXE-E55 error "No Boot File Name Received", 99% of the time has to do with the configuration of scope options on the dhcp server and or port 4011 not being open.

I.P. Helpers make the process of PXE booting across Vlan's much easier than manually assigning scope options. If you have a managed router/switch you should have access to I.P. helpers.

See Microsofts Article for microsoft documentation on the matter.
