Issue identified: PXE-E18 – Server took too long to respond.
You're encountering a PXE-E18 error when trying to boot a Lenovo P53. The system identifies the IP and files correctly, but the file size appears to be zero. This usually happens over LAN where the local MDT server is present, whereas it works over WAN with Meraki VPN. Have you considered verifying the network configuration on both ends or checking for any firewall rules blocking the PXE protocol?
We increased access to several dynamic ports from the MDT server side to our satellite office. The firewall at our main location was blocking traffic on certain ports.
