I had the exact same problem, and I managed to resolve it. I changed my tftp server to atftp-server, which did not resolve the issue by itself, but I didn't change back to the stock tftp-server so I can't confirm if it had any effect.
The issue appears to be somewhere in the network stack in the BIOS on the t5515. What fixed the issue was upgrading the BIOS on the t5515 to version 1.7, downloadable from HP's website. Here is the support site for the t5515, go to the driver downloads section for the BIOS: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Home.jsp?locale=en_US&prodTypeId=12454&prodSeriesId=420579&submit.y=0&submit.x=0&lang=en&cc=us Hope this helps. >David, > >I've got a 5515 and i've had the same problem.
