Hi. Boot from CD but DHCP not working. Press Ctrl+B then:
ifopen net0
dhcp net0

not working, next try:

autoboot - not working

next try:
ifopen net0
set net0/ip 192.168......
set net0/netmask ....
set net0/gateway ....
set net0/dns ....
chain http://netboot.me/menu.gpxe

not working :-(

I generate ISO from gPXE from http://www.rom-o-matic.net/gpxe/gpxe-1.0.1/contrib/rom-o-matic/
for all NIC. It working OK, DHCP but how link to menu netboot.me ???

Just for the folks on the list, who manufactures your ethernet card?

As for connecting to netboot automatically  you can try including your own custom script at rom-o-matic.com by clicking the customize button after you select the rom you prefer and including this in the embedded script section:

#!gpxe
dhcp net0
chain http://netboot.me/menu.gpxe

One thing to note is that netboot.me looks at your user-agent string when you get the menu and will actually downgrade you if it doesn't see a GPXE version it recognizes.  I'm not sure what the specific accepted versions are right now but if you experience a downgrade during the process and it breaks your connection let me know and and I'll point you to how to edit the source so that this doesn't happen. 

All the best,
Josh Boon

What is oryginal gPXE script use to make netbootme.iso? I try making own script for static network configuration (not DHCP). I try version 0.9.7 and new 1.0.1 but not working :-( %!#$
#!gpxe
ifopen net0
set net0/ip 192.168.
set net0/netmask 255.255.255.0
set net0/gateway 192.168.
set net0/dns 192.168.
chain http://netboot.me/menu.gpxe
 
maybe need use kernel instead of chain command??
 
Test in VPC 2007 SP1 - run from netbootme.iso and from DHCP server (from IP Tools) its working fine :-) , but i need netbootme.iso working with static network configuration.

i've built the same script in my sandbox here and I can't get it to work against the netboot.me service,  I can't get the page to load in my browser either.  I can however get it to work against the server I built in house so it looks like netboot.me may be having problems :(   I can put up a copy of my server code somewhere, it's built on the django framework which is written in python but it's my own personal code so it's not very pretty.
