Yep, all of the hp400's should net boot without problems. 

You might check that the ethernet is jumpered for thin or aui,
depending on what you're using. Between the aui and thin net on
the inside of the case is a jumper block. Move it to toward the
aui for aui and toward the thin net for thin net.

It could also be that the machines have a designated boot device 
(set in the boot prom) to boot off of and are ignoring everything
else. To get around that, push the service button on the front
of the case (a green light should come on).

Good luck on getting them to boot, hp300s are a fun breed of 
machines.
