Hi, in our test, when disabling COM3 & 4 and with the option [Used INT 18h] in BIOS, we can successfully boot into our PXE server: Intel UNDI, PXE-2.0. Can you tell us what PXE server you use? We may need this info to help debugging your problem:)

Windows Deployment Services running on Windows 2003 server and Microsoft DHCP.

As I mentioned earlier, 2 other computers have been tested and successfully boot via PXE on my LAN.

The roboard get to the 'press F12' prompt (which indicates proper DHCP and initial PXE) buts get no further after pressing F12.

It seems that your RoBoard successfully booted into your PXE bootstrap (so you can see the "press F12..." message), but failed when getting into the selected OS image.

This is possibly because the selected OS image doesn't recognize RoBoard's LAN hardware. Please ensure that the OS image is configured to support RoBoard's LAN hardware and try it again. :)
