Usually its not pxe boot first I think.. PXE boot first and you would see the pxe sending out DHCP requests, and on the screen would be like: DHCP.../ where the '/' is a dial, /-\|... But if it is on your box then a workaround woud be to set the pxe boot below cdrom and disk, then powercycle the box, with pulling the power cable for a few seconds (to clear any thing in the nic's cache/registers). This workaround works for us, though not needed with the fixed nge driver. If pxe boot isn't first in the boot order, then windows may be leaving the nic in a state that solaris doesn't like. Again a complete powercycle should clear things up. While not nice, its a possible workaround :) Hope this helps..
