Hi there, I am not sure if it is the same case, nevertheless I would like to point out my finding on using virtual machine;
In vmware (or xen, should work in same manner i presume - haven't used xen to-date), you need to make sure the network connection is Bridged (not NAT or others). If you are attempting to run the server and/or the thinclient/pxe-boot from the virtual machine, just make sure the network settings for the VM is set to Bridged mode. Then they will be all in the same network and DHCP offer and accept requests from Server and Client should find each other. cheers!
