eeepc PXE boot over local TFTP server

[abl]

Hello All,
I am trying to boot my eeepc over a local TFTP server. This is kind of a last resort for me, as I have tried most other netboot options without success.
On the computer that I intend to use as a server, I run Ubuntu 11.10 with all requisite packages installed for a tftp server. I am unfamiliar with the configuration and can't seem to find good resources online.
Does anyone on this forum have any advice or instructions to help me out?
Thanks a lot.

The reason I am trying this is that I had previously used boot.fedoraproject.org and gpxe to install Fedora over gpxe on another machine; now I tried this on the eeepc and was unable to detect any network connections.
I read a bit and saw that support for the Atheros driver in my eeepc was sketchy in gpxe, and so I tried using the undi driver to no avail as well. Then, I played around with the on-board (BIOS) PXE boot options, still without progress.
Eventually I was redirected here.

So can you help me out, netboot.me people?

Try iPXE.

Can you give a link or some context or something?
I am unfamiliar with both those terms.

Thanks!

PS:
I like your user name, I suppose you are referring to clumps of even numbers of particles with half-integer spin? Although I have not encountered the word 'boson' in its verb form before I must admit...

I've always wanted to use this site.  This seems like a perfect opportunity.
