Question : PLS HELP STEP BY STEP SETUP OF PXE REMOTE BOOT FROM DESKTOP COMPUTER (xp) TO DISKLESS(NO CD/FLOPPY) COMPAQ M300 LAPTOP

Dear Sirs, (experts / pros)

This is my setup:
DESKTOP: WIN XP PRO, 180GIG HD connecte WLAN to router.
LAPTOP: Compaq Armada M300 (no floppy or cd) with LAN supporting PXE  (boot agent ver. 2.06)
Laptop connected through cat5 cable to router.
When starting laptop, the pxe service starts and searches DHCP server - gives errorcode pxe-e53 no image found.

I have tried to download the software from http://www.argontechnology.com.

The thing is how should I get this setup working?
i want to gain control of the laptop - wich has been dropped on the floor - and can't start win200 correctly (it stalls just before startupscreen). I would like to run chkdsk /f on the machine.

How do I setup the DESKTOP running XP pro to act as a server for the laptop?
How should the router be setup?
Should I connect with BooTP or PXE? (i have tried both without luck).
The program from argon includes a TFTP server, client manager and boot server.

I hope you can help me.

Thanking you in advance.
Michael.
