We have had repeated confirmations that these ISO images are correct ISO images. Hard to tell what's happening as, obviously, we can't really make support for Windows burning software..:-) > Next, I downloaded the business card image at > http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/squeeze_di_rc1/i386/iso-cd/debian-sq-di-rc1-i386-businesscard.isowhich > Nero did not complain about. > > So I installed squeeze from the business card image. I ran into the same > problem as before: *PXE-E53: NO BOOT FILENAME RECEIVED* It seems that your machine tries to boot with PXE instead of bootig from its hard disk. Something on your network answers to these PXE requests.....but then fails to continue the boot. I'd suggest lookign at the boot order in the machine's BIOS settings. > > So, being an experimenter, I tried flippig the the PNP/DEV boot setting: no > effect.

I'd say that these problems are related to the way your machine boots from its hard disk.
