DHCP and other strange going's on...

[wizzman]

Hi Guys and gals,

I am having a strange problem that I hope someone can help me with.

I am trying to set up a windows 2003 server at home to be able to send/receive ghost images from machines using PXE. However I have several problems getting this to work.

My Setup is as follows:

I have a DSL-G04T Wireless router: IP 192.168.1.1, its internal DHCP server has been disabled.
A server 2003 machine plugged into this router: IP 192.168.1.250
A standalone xp machine that I want to take a ghost image from.

The server has been configured in the following way:
1. It has Active directory installed.
2. DNS has been installed and has been set to forward querys to my ISP's DNS servers
3. DHCP has been installed, and has been configured to use my routers IP as router, and my servers IP as DNS.
4. Windows Deployment Services has been installed and configured.

The problem:

The stand alone machine cannot pick up an IP address from the server when connected to the network. If I give the stand alone machine a static IP in the correct range and then try and ping the server, it times out. However, I can ping the standalone machine FROM the server, just not the other way around.

This means that when I try and connect a machine for PXE boot, it never receives an IP address!

Hope someone can help, its a bit complicated to explain on a forum and hope that I got all the major details in!

Thanks!!

Oh and hello!
