Hi,
I have problems with the initial DHCP connection and would appreciate any help.
The client has a 3c905B-TX NIC and Managed Boot Agent (MBA) set to PXE. When booting the client, it waits about one minute at the "DHCP.." prompt, before it finally gives up:
PXE-E53: No boot filename received from BINL, DHCP, or BOOTP
The server has the DHCP server up and running, and seems to respond to client's DHCP requests:

iptables does not block any outbound traffic. I have tried different configurations for the DHCP server, for instance
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
option routers 192.168.1.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.1.255;
host maxwell {
option root-path "192.168.1.1:/usr/local/share/ltsp/i386";
hardware ethernet 04:9e:55:4a:00:50;
fixed-address 192.168.1.5;
filename "/lts/2.4.26-ltsp-2/pxelinux.0";
}
}The tftp daemon is set up with chroot jail, and listening on *:tftp.
