Network kickstart weirdness

I think I have encountered this problem before, but cannot remember the
solution. I am trying to perform a network kickstart on a Dell PE 2650
server. The OS is RHEL 3 U4. No matter how I try this, the client seems not
to recognize that the kickstart file is present. It always asks for network
information. The system successfully obtained an address through dhcp for
the pxe-boot, but then it cannot seem to get an address to start the
installation process. I am perplexed. I do not know if this is a network
problem, a problem with the kickstart file, or maybe a problem with
anaconda. Can anyone suggest any clues that might enable me to figure out
what is wrong?

Thanks!
