Thanks orbital and CyberSlug, I setup the RIS server on a windows 2000 server which is not a domain controller, the image was created from the folder c:\i386, the DHCP is on a domain controller and is working fine, windows xp machines are receiving IP from it, I changed the booting sequence to Network boot and the following message appeared: Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0 (build 082) Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation For Realtek RTL8139(X)/8130/810X PCI Fast Ethernet Controller v2.13 (020326) CLIENT MAC ADDR: 00 13 8F A6 39 A3 GUID 00020003-0004-0005-0006-000700080009 PXE-E53: No boot filename received PXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROOM. I am not able to boot my machine from this RIS server, kindly help Thanks
