PXE Booting help request.

Hi I am following this guide. http://www.howtoforge.com/setting-up...on-ubuntu-9.10

I seem to be have problems with my boot image loading. I put memdisk in the tftpboot folder, I see at least it is trying to load the boot image. When I DO NOT put the append keeppxe I get the error "failed to load udp stack". If I do put append keeppxe I get "TFTP prefix". The boot images does not load either way. What else can I try?. The boot images is 6 megs and is a Dos based menu system.

Thanks again for any help you can offer me.

below is a copy of the menu.

Sorry I can`t really help you, but you could compare what you have done in that guide with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/LocalNet just to make sure you didn`t skip any steps.
