This article was previously published under Q259670 SYMPTOMSWhen you try to start a Pre-Boot Execution Environment (PXE) client computer, you may receive one of the following error messages: No reply from Server TFTP download failed No boot Filename Received PXE-E55 Proxy DHCP Service did not reply to request on port 4011 CAUSEThis issue can occur when the DHCP server has the following Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) options set: - #60 = Client Identifier (set to "PXEClient")
- #66 = Boot Server Host Name
- #67 = BootFile Name
When the initial DHCP offer from the DHCP server contains these boot options, an attempt is made to connect to port 4011 on the DHCP server. This offer fails if the PXE server is on another computer. Important: Microsoft does not support the use of these options on a DHCP server to redirect PXE clients To resolve this issue, you must remove these options from the DHCP server and configure the routers IP helper table to contain the IP address of the RIS server.
