I have the DHCP server accepting requests on only one nic.

TFTP config is as follows:
# default: off
# description: The tftp server serves files using the trivial file transfer \
# protocol. The tftp protocol is often used to boot diskless \
# workstations, download configuration files to network-aware printers, \
# and to start the installation process for some operating systems.
service tftp
{
socket_type = dgram
protocol = udp
wait = yes
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s -c -v -v -v /opt/tftpboot
disable = no
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
flags = IPv4
}

I am getting the following error on the machine i am trying to boot:
no boot filename recieved'

any ideas on this

Where is the ks.cfg file being pointed to????
do you have a direct cable from the clone server to the correct NIC on the KS server or are you on the right subnet/vlan whatever you have?
I would run a cable if possible, take out other possible network errors.

where is the config file?

Can you ping either server... I know it depend on if you have an OS but in my case I was upgrading the OS' to a another version from what Dell sent them to me with. I would use direct cable and if not hook up you laptop and make sure you can access the correct network and ping the KS server from the port / cable your using. If that is all good ... then make you you can access the ks.cfg file .
