configuring client side in diskless booting using thinclient


i had been trying to build a diskless booting system using thinclent in client pc.i have configured the dns server on server side and made the required changes in dhcp entries.i have made all the enteries and changes on server side on guidelines of this document http://linux-sxs.org/internet_serving/pxeboot.html

but whenever i try to boot the client system uing a thin client.it gives an error saying cannot determine ip adress(while booting)

however when i start the client pc independently(with its own harddisk and
memory and thinclient as ethernet) and connect it with server using a cross cable and send ping to client side,it works correctly.(i mean thinclient card detects the ip after booting..but does not detect ip during booting),i have made required changes in bios for first boot device..now can you please tell me what can be the problem???is there any package required for thienclient?
i am using an enjay thinclient
