In case it's an issue with insufficient free dhcp leases, on the box
with the dhcp server try:-
(for isc-dhcp-server) cat /var/lib/dhcpd.leases and compare that against
the number available in your settings
also:-
service dhcpd restart
Then try booting the PXE clients again.
Also make sure it's not a general network problem (it happens). i.e. try
booting a live CD (or the installed OS) from a client and pinging the
PXE server.

At the DHCP server (first)?

Please post:-
/etc/dhcpd.conf
/etc/default/dhcp3-server
