PXE Network Boot Image Machines not Detected

Thread needs solution

OK so here's my setup :

1.) Acer Veriton 4GB, i3 Windows 7 64 bit Professional
2.) ADK installed (complete)
3.) Acronis snap deploy 4 installed
4.) Open DHCP installed (gives IP's to clients)
5.) Catalyst 3750 series Cisco 24 port switch/router

I want to do the following simple task :

1.) Connect a client machine to the network.
2.) Let it boot over network into Acronis PXE boot.
3.) Automatically deploy master image onto client machine and shut down.

"Network Boot, Deploy Master Image, Shutdown"

Currently, the snap in console doesn't see any machines I plug into the system. I want a straight-forward deployment without entering MAC addresses etc. The units should be picked up automatically and then simply show in the Machines list. And if PXE, then they should automatically get an IP from my DHCP (Which is working normally).

I tried to add the MAC address manually , but it does not detect. The machines get an IP in Windows but yet don't show in the machines section in snap deploy.

How do I get this work like desired ? I used FOG open source cloning before with a addon called "capone". I never need to add any MAC addresses or add machines or something. Everything is automatic, saves A LOT of time and gets the job done quickly. Unfortunately, FOG doesn't seem to work on the new laptops I got (150) and so I have decided to try out Acronis and get my company to buy it...

I've attached a systeminfo and log export

So I checked my DHCP settings.... All seems to work, machine boots up, Open DHCP OFFERS an IP , but it just doesn't get the boot file - must be something wrong with the Snap Deploy and not with the PXE settings on Open DHCP server...

As in, where do I find the boot file and the boot file name ??? I need to specify this  SOMEWHERE in gthe Open DHCP Server settings...
Where and how can I manually configure the Acronis Snap Deploy PXE settings ???
