I put a screenshot:

Unless you're trying to boot over the internet, or some special protocol you don't really need it, you can use your PXE boot ROM, and then from the server you're booting from will probably load ipxe/gpxe/etc.  Some machines won't boot from gpxelinux.0, but will boot with pxelinux.0.  You might make sure your network is allowed as a boot device (although it shouldn't matter with ipxe).  Hopefully you have a recommended network card.

Ok, thanks! I enabled LAN Boot Rom in bios, now works fine.
