I don't know much about lpxelinux technology, so I can't help you, but
usually the first step is taking a packet capture, see
http://www.syslinux.org/wiki/index.php/Debugging.  Looking into the dump
may provide clues.  The other thing is trying pxelinux.0 atop iPXE with
HTTP support (in the simplest case booted from some local device).
