Common Errors

TFTP

PXE-E12: Could not detect network connection. Check cable.

Diagnosis: The boot option you created does not have the correct MAC address and so cannot connect to the internet.

Correction: Determine the appropriate MAC address using the procedure described in the section “Add a Network Entry for the Client to the IP Address File on the Server.” (page 15) and then create a boot option with that MAC address.

TFTP

PXE-E16: Valid PXE offer not received.

Load of boot option failed: Not Found.

Diagnosis: Diagnosing this error can be difficult. The simplest problem causing this error is that the entry for this client in the server's /etc/bootptab file is not correct. A more complicated problem is that there are other DHCP servers on your network causing interference with your Ignite-UX server.

Correction: Check the client's entry in the /etc/bootptab file on the server to make sure it is correct. Otherwise, contact the systems administrator responsible for the Ignite-UX server.
