iSCSI boot shows error at boot time using OpenELEC

Didn't get the chance to do the packet trace yet.

I changed every config from short DNS name to IP, I even recompiled iPXE with a new embedded script to use only IP adresses. Same result.

I tried a different NIC today: An Intel Pro 1000 GT PCI card. That's really weird now. With this NIC, I just get these messages after iPXE boot menu:

Registered SAN device 0x80
Booting from SAN device 0x80

Here the whole thing hangs. That's it. I really thought, the Intel NIC brings me further to the goal.

After switching back to the internal Realtek NIC, I recently connected the HTPC directly to the Synology DiskStation to bypass the TP-Link Router. Well, this made the whole thing a lot smoother. Doing this, booting is really more successful! Now, I get the boot errors just in 1 of 4 tries.

So I think it _has_ something to do with the constellation of NIC and the switch between NIC and iSCSI server. Unfortunately, I don't have any possibility to try any other NIC or switch.
