RedVyper Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 I apoligze if i'm in the wrong thread i was not sure where to post such a question.I am looking for a software package server package that can be run of a windows XP Pro installation that provides PXE Server boot capabilities.In other words i'd like to plug my laptop in that is running windows XP Pro into a network and be able to go up to a workstation and boot of its PXE boot card right to my laptop. I know I could use server 2003 with RIS services but I would rather have XP pro on my laptop and not server. is this possible does any such package exist?

radhus Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 This might not be the soloution you are looking for but...I have XP Pro on my workstation. When I should reinstall/format on another computer I boot with "Bart's network disk" (http://www.nu2.nu/bootdisk/network/), we all know bart don't we. Then I map a drive on the formatted computer to an XP folder (i386 or something).. Then i install with winnt.exeI know, you want to boot with PXE...

rdalling Posted October 7, 2004 Share Posted October 7, 2004 As I understand it, you can drop an ISO file on the the PXE server device and the client using PXE will load the image and you can work from there...R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisBaksa Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 As I understand it, you can drop an ISO file on the the PXE server device and the client using PXE will load the image and you can work from there...RNot yet...The next release of PE (1.6) will allow this.Unless you use RIS, you cannot PXE boot an ISO image.RIS has serious limitations and downfalls.Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilou_Gateux Posted October 8, 2004 Share Posted October 8, 2004 Install both tftpd and dhcp on your WinXP Pro box.you can use freeware to run both :Tftpd32 includes DHCP, TFTP, SNTP and Syslog servers as well as a TFTP client.look at this URL to know what to configure on your DHCP Server :PXES Howtothe example use builtin M$ DHCP service of Windows 2000 Server but you can configure tftpd32 to run the DHCP Server.Hope it helps.
