PXE booting Linux guest

A few related questions about PXE booting my Linux guest... I'm using VB 5.2.2 on Win10 x64 v1703.
1) What version of iPXE is v5.2.2 using? If you look up an error at ipxe.org, all the answers start with 'get the latest version'.

2) Using iPXE (extension pack not installed), I can boot to LAN, Ctrl+B and see the other Linux guest that is serving the CentOS 7 DVD setup files over HTTP. I can use the chain cmd to download an img file from the web server but every time, not matter what I do or which img file I select, I get "Error: Exec format error". Don't know if this is me or bad iPXE/VB implementation.

3) Using Intel PXE (extension pack installed), I can't get an IP via DHCP. I did one time (bridged NAT mode), but I don't know why it worked only once, and then it found the wrong server. Is there any way to specify a TFTP or HTTP server?
