"PXE-18: Server response timeout." Error when installing on Hyper-V

Hi,

I'm installing pfsense on Hyper-V for the first time. I have downloaded the ISO file; extracted it from the dz download using WinZip and connected it to the VM's DVD. However when I run the VM for the first time I get "PXE-18: Server response timeout.".

Has anyone any idea where I go from here?

Hi Everyone,
I've fixed it myself. :-) I had to turn OFF "Enable Secure Boot" in VM's Security Settings. pfsense is now running.
