iPXE vs VMware Workstation 5 or 8 on WinXP Host

Quote:Yes, in another configuration all working good e.g. TFTPD32 + Apache HTTP

You just described my very first iPXE run environment: I still use it when testing images.

Currently I'm using ISC DHCP and xinet/TFTP services under CentOS.

Back on topic:

It is very likely a problem with the TFTP server (memory buffering comes to mind), because it doesn't work on the first try, but it does on the second: am I understanding this correctly?

It would probably be a good idea to do a network trace from the TFTP server to the iPXE client and let Erwin look it over.
