Hello I try to start pxe boot server with this guide:
http://www.tecmint.com/network-installa ... -machines/
Everything works until I promt " Install Debian 7...." from boot
Then client says Could not locate pxe server.
Where is the error. I am running out of ideas.
Thank you for any help.

It works.
This is bare minimum config.
dnsmasq.conf:

Code: Select all

dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
enable-tftp
tftp-root=/srv/tftp/
/srv/tftp structure for Debian:

Code: Select all
