HI!
When I try to restore Windows Server 2003 x86 with Bare Metal Restore option of NetBackup 6.5.4 on remote client (I try it on a physical and virtual machines), client says: PXE-E74: bad or missing pxe menu and/or promt information.
DHCP works perfectly; NetBackup BMR Boot server installed on different non-DHCP server.

It is error in boot image or not?

What will be suggestions?
Regards!

 Yes, all ports are opened, because when I try simulate boot from PXE with tftpd32.exe (set dhcp server, set boot file, set tftp folder and disable BMR MTFTP & BMR PXE services), client booting from PXE perfectly. I in lockup. Probably, it is necessary to refuse from BMR in favour of WDS or another product. There is an idea that PXE the server does not give the list of files - any parser does not work...
