[syslinux] Has anyone any insight as to why RedHatEnterprise Level 5 is broken as far as PXE booting is concerned.

Client recieves fixed address of 172.16.0.30 bound to mac
"00:01:6c:ca:24:7b "of client
So that works.

ditto
Client recieves fixed address of 172.16.0.30 bound to mac
"00:01:6c:ca:24:7b "of client
So that works
The DHCP server is on box with ip of 172.16.0.254 with 00:02:B3:99:05:A0
The TFTP server is on box with ip of 172.16.0.254 with ditto
Yes I tried to find info on next-server but couldn't find a search function
on the list.
So downloded the last 3 months archives uncompressed them & searched for
next-server but haven't yet found much info.
I tried the next-server set as below with the other 2 commented out .. with
no joy. so I tried (didn't make much sense) all 3, also no good.
Obvioulsy I really don't know how to set the 3 below options.
Should I put the tftp server on a different box?
Is the "next-server" simply a DNS server? if so how ........
next-server 172.16.0.254;
# hardware ethernet 00:02:B3:99:05:A0;
# fixed-address 172.16.0.254;
Thanks for your reply XL
