Here's one way to trace it...
Watch /var/log/messages on the server... the dhcp request should show up there, whether you're collecting MAC's or not. Make sure that it is showing up there...

Jason, somehow my system couldn't be able to collect more MAC addresses. There are suppose to be 4 cards; however, it found 2, and then seem to stop there. It confuse me because it can detect 2 cards (that's why I'm assuming all previous steps I've done correctly). Have any ideas how do I trace this thing out? Also, at the first step when it asks me about IP assignment for those client images, I chose static assignment. Would this might be a potential problem?
