For your condition we'd need to know what PXE version you were using and on what device. For newer PXE revs (2.X), you want build 082 or later. Everything before is broken in some way. The 0.99c version of the Boot Agent (on older fxp cards) is fine, however. The Intel 810 firmware is quite broken; a fixed one will be available shortly.
