Both tcpdumps could be further analyzed. So kno

The v406pre3.dump looks fine.

The v410pre20.dump his this interresting, perhaps strange pattern:

.241:49153 asks .239:69 for file
.239:40073 replies .241:49153 with file not found
.241 informs .239 that it is "unreachable"


To me it seems that the 4.10 pxelinux and the PXE stack on the Dell
don't mix that well.
