It was all working perfectly the day before. Now, when we tried to NetBoot the remaining 5 computers, they won't NetBoot individually. They'll freeze up after about 20 seconds on the eMacs, or, just continue blinking the icon on the G4s.

However, if we boot two simultaneously, one will freeze, but the other will NetBoot fine.

We didn't change anything on the server, don't know why or how this is happening. Logs aren't revealing either.

I tried deleting the client list for the DHCP, but that didn't seem to change anything.

Nevermind. IT failed to mention that they were fiddling with the VLAN and that DHCP routing was going to be messed up.

After the VLAN was back up and we got all the computers on the new subnet, NetBoot is now working flawlessly again.

Pulling my hair out, and it was their fault.
