PXE boot port issue

Hi,all:
I want to boot an IA unix box from network, I am sure I set the DHCP and boot server, but it still failed !

It says : Client MAC Address: 00 18 FE 28 91 82 .....-
PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received.
Load of Core LAN Gb A failed: Not Found

I use the nettl command to trace the UDP package, it writes:

From the document, I got that the client port is 68, the server port should be 67, I mean the DHCP server listening port, while in the UDP package, it shows 4109.
Thanks !

       If you want to filter a specific Client Hardware Address (CHADDR), then you can specifiy it as a regular expressions:

       tcpdump -lenx -s 1500 port bootps or port bootpc | dhcpdump -h ^00:c0:4f

       This will display only the packets with Client Hardware Addresses which start with 00:c0:4f.

OUTPUT

	 TIME: 15:45:02.084272
	   IP: 0.0.0.0.68 (0:c0:4f:82:ac:7f) > 255.255.255.255.67 (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff)

       the third field is the name of the option, the fourth field is the data of the option.

RETURN VALUES

NOTES

       Privileged access is often needed for tcpdump.

BUGS

       Not all the parameter options are printed verbose, because of lack of documentation. Not all the options are tested, because of lack of
       clients/servers with these options. If you have a dump of one of them, please send them to me and I'll incorperate them.
