ultimately im trying to get a PXE boot laptop to talk to the WDS server. While monitoring the switch using wireshark from laptop #2, it doesn't see ANY DHCP packet during a PXE boot. whereas, I would boot the PXE laptop normally to windows and i can see the DHCP packet.

I am using 'dhcp' as the display filter in wireshark.

i thought it was so strange to not see any DHCP packet when PXE booting... could someone shed a light?

Here's my topology: topology image

What error are you seeing on the PXE boot screen of the laptop?

Have you checked your router configuration for IP Helper setup, as described in the article below:

This article gives a detailed description of how to check your PXE boot setup including log files to check & network trace examples:

Hope that helps
