[gPXE] Need some help trouble shooting intalling windows 7 via gPXE

I am completely new to PXE and gPXE and I am having some problems getting
this to work.
I am attempting to install windows 7 with iscsi.
I have a target setup on Windows 2008 Storage Server and have verified I can
connect with another PC on the subnet and access the drive.
The client PC has an intel pro100-GT adapter and I am chainloading the
latest gpxe.
I am running a dhcp server on Ubuntu 9.10 Server. The client gets an IP and
loads gPXE just fine but will not connect to the iscsi target.
I get " Could not initialize iSCSI devise: Connection Timed out
(0x4c0a6035)"
After this message it loads the win7 dvd but of course does not see the
iscsi device.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have followed all trouble shooting
in the wiki and searched thru the archives but nothing seems to help me
connect.
There is no firewall involved here. Below is my dhcp config.
#DHCP Server Configuration file.
# see /usr/share/doc/dhcp*/dhcpd.conf.sample
#
allow booting;
allow bootp;
option space gpxe;
option gpxe.bus-id code 177 = string;
option gpxe-encap-opts code 175 = encapsulate gpxe;
option gpxe.keep-san code 8 = unsigned integer 8;
subnet 192.168.100.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.100.200 192.168.100.220;
authoritative;
next-server 192.168.100.110;
if not exists gpxe.bus-id{
filename "undionly.kpxe";
} else {
filename "";
option root-path
"iscsi:192.168.100.140::::iqn.1999-05.com.pilgrim:netboot";
option gpxe.keep-san 1;
}
}
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
Thx
Mark
