The md5 sum of the image on the website does not seem to match the one
posted in the help file. I have downloaded it a couple of times,
checks the same each time. Which one is wrong? The file or the posted
checksum?

I'm going to go with checksum. I'm not the active maintainer of the website but when you boot to the netboot.me image service it checks your gPXE stack to make sure it's the latest and if it isn't upgrades it so as long as the image boots your machine successfully don't worry about it.

Is this something I should be concerned with?

No, the tools are all freely available so if there's a problem with any specific one it can be fixed independent of the rest. Checksums are important if you don't trust the host or your download manager. When files are updated the checksum also needs updated which I'm going to assume is what is causing the issue.

No worries, this specific issue appears to be with the gPXE update the site maintainer uploaded. If the original poster hasn't put in a bug report I'll file one myself. As the gPXE loader is checked server side there's nothing to worry about, the checksum just needs updating.
