Can Make Windows PE Boot Disk, but Can't Send Tasks To Machine

So we have a corrupt hard drive that will not boot to Windows.  I want to PXE boot it to PE to send an image, but that does not work.

I created a boot usb using the Boot Disk Creator, and it WILL boot into WinPE 2.1, but I cannot send any tasks.  It appears I have a good network connection, but when I send a task to deploy an image, it just sits and sits and sits.

On the terminal that comes up in PE, I have:

Initializing Windows PE2...

Loading drivers...

Locating boot drive...

   Found boot drive F:\ in registry: CurrentControlSet.

Calling custom actions...

Startup complete.

X:\>

Usually it will test and make a network connection on regular computers,  It just stops here.
