That's very odd indeed. The not defined is almost certainly an option
negotiation failure, most PXE stacks seem to force one on purpose before
starting the real transfer.
I hate to suggest this, but could you by any chance have either an
address conflict on your network or a hardware/cabling failure? The
fact that it only affects one box our of a set that is known to work
well is sticky...
