PXE-E61 Media test failure, Check cable 3COM 3C905C-TX-M

I try to get a PXE Boot with the Argon PXE/MBA on Disk.
The wellcome message of the Argon MBA comes up then
the following error appears:

PXE-E61 Media test failure, Check cable

After a few seconds a local boot from hard disk follows.

The cable is fine as the network card works with win2000.

Thank you for the help.

Strange problem.  All 3c905c network adapters have a PXE boot ROM onboard.  What happens if you use the onboard boot ROM instead of the PXE on Disk floppy to boot?

Does anybody know what this error code means?
I am having the same problem with my HP Pavilion ZE4200.
