Can't boot thin clients

Hi,
  Its kind of embarrasing, and I have been racking my brains over for two days now ! But I can't seem to connect a Thin client ( PXE ) to boot from an edubuntu server !
   
  I got the dhcp and tfpt workign on the server ! 
   
  I see the dhcp giving the IP but the Client says 
  PXE-T01 : file not found
  PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found !
   
  I guess you figured it out that i am a newbie to linux ! 
  I have supposedly used all kind of ways to put the pxelinux.0 in all sorts of places !
  i think I have an error with my dhcp.conf !
   
  This Edubuntu was supposed to work out of the box !
   
  And the help available is just not doing the trick !
   
  I mean just imagine i have still not been able to connect a single client !
   
  I am using AMDs !
   
  The dhcp.conf is as follows:
   
  INTERFACES=eth1
   
  authoritative;
  subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.30;
  option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
  option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
  option routers 192.168.0.1;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
    filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";
  }
  else{
    filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";
  }
  option root-path "192.168.0.27:/opt/ltsp/amd64";
}

  I have a LinkSys Wireless Gateway 54G whose IP is 192.168.0.1
  and the edubuntu server's IP is 192.168.0.27
   
  Very frustrating !
