WHEN I STOPPED DHCP HELPER & RAN TFTPD32 IT ASSIGNS IP, SUBNET MASK, GATEWAY & DNS SERVER BUT FAIL TO GIVE TFTP SERVER SETTING & THIS ALSO GIVES ERROR.
1.NOW MY QUE IS WHERE WE CAN CONFIG THE DHCP HELPER FILE FOR THIS PROBLEM.
2. WHAT I HAVE TO SPECIFY THERE.
3. HOW TO USE ANY THIRD PARTY DHCP SERVER? AS THIS IS NOT WORKING FOR ME.

While TCS works really well even on jost XP , windows XP does not have a DHCP service ( officially beside the handicapped version supplied with ICS enabling ICS would cause you XP machine to become a DHCP server but you have little control over it).

You need to have a server OS or a DHCP appliance to have a supported DHCP source.

The DHCP Helper 2X comes with supplies information for PXE booting via the PXE boot DHCP Scope options 66 and 67, and a user scope option 193 which points to a list of TCS servers.

Hope this helps.
