Question : PXE testing tool??

Hi,

Does anyone know if there is a test tool to test if PXE works through the network? I am sniffing a boot session of a PXE boot and can see the traffic in my sniffer files fine. Howerer, I work remote and would like a tool that I can run in Windows, kinda simulate a PXE boot request.

I tried to "renew" in Windows, but only DHCP information from my regular DHCP server came in return. Nothing from Altiris PXE...

Anyone?

Answer : PXE testing tool??

just a thought for your reference, probably you may try this:

1. RDP to a remote server, install VPC 2007
2. boot a PXE emulator in a VM to test

be sure that the VM's network adapter should be in Bridge mode in turn to access the physical adapter of the server. additionally, the floppy disk can be a floppy image in .FLP format for working with VPC2K7.
