I've run into this problem as well, as I use PXE at work for our Linux server installs. Normally it works fine. as we do the initial config on servers on the same subnet as the tftp proxy server. However, we've recently had an occasion to install OS's from a WAN site, on a different subnet - no worky as is.

No direct experience, but from what I've read, you need to tweak your DHCP server to forward the tftp request to the PXE server. If your DHCP server admins won't do this for you, I'm out of suggestions...short of running your own DHCP server, which will no doubt piss them off.
