ok , I have the client pc's booting to the pxe server and starting the image
download. now basically what i have is the screen looking just like a normal
cd install and it hangs on trying to resolve dns. it reports:
reverse name lookup on self failed
reverse name lookup on dns failed

and then it prompts me to input my host name and domain of the client
machine. which there is nothing on the client machine so i do not have any
info to input????

it does this if i select static or dchcp for the client during the setup
process...

DNS is running and active....

any ideas would be appreciated.......
