OK the gPXE client is not a vm its a physical machine i have two that do the same thing. I am able to create a vm client and boot gPXE and connect to WSS2008 with no problems. I have other full OS's in VM (Ubuntu, and another Win2008r2) that can communicate with with the WSS2008 VM. These other VM OS's can also ping the physical gPXE clients What i haven't had a chance to do yet is to boot a physical PC with an OS and see if i can hit the WSS2008 box. I will try that in the morning. If all else fails i will rebulid the WSS2008 image or just scratch it and try Starwind iSCSI target on another server. I was hoping to use the WSS but if i can't i will find another way. Mark

In that case, it looks as though you have a network problem, most likely related to the VMware configuration. Is the gPXE client a VM? If so, then try Shao's suggestion of booting an OS within this *same* VM, and checking that it can communicate with the Win2k8 server. Michael
