Pippo,
Have you looked at the OTC Server logs ? Does the client requests reach it at
all ?
I don't know, but just a guess: might the MAC address be influenced by the
transfer of the client from the office environment to production ? Are there
any PXE clients pending in the OTC Server Manager ?

Hi Jan,
Yes there is a Win 2008 R2 as a DHCP/DNS server in the production environment.

Hi Pippo,
Have you got any ordinary DHCP server on the production network segment that
the VM can get hold off?

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your follow up support.
Both the OTC Server(2008 R2) and the thin client are Vmware VMs on the same
Vmware server.
They were both on a test Vmware host in a test isolated network environment
where they worked nicely and I have now transferred them to the production
network on a production Vmware host but this boot problem cropped up.
I understand it is probably a network issue but I need help tracking down the
problem.
Best Regards

Hi Pippo,
And you state that the SAME clients and OTC server worked in your office
segment ?
How close to the OTC server can you physically get in your production network ?
Can you connect a client directly to the same switch as the server is connected
to and there try it out ?
If it works in the office environment but not in the production environment
with the same clients and server it just has to be in the network.

Hi Jan,
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I meant that I cannot boot even one client so ALL clients are having the same
problems even a test client I have set up in Vmware.
The clients and the server are on the same network and same segment so there
should be no router or firewall between them.
The windows OTC server has it's firewall completely turned off for the time
being.
I to feel it must be a network issue but I don't know where to start looking
for the problem.
Any ideas ?
Best Regards

Hi Pippo,
"I can't seem to get one client past the "Mounting root file system " prompt."
Do you mean that there is ONE client that causes this problem or ANY/ALL
clients ?
If one client, then just forget that client, if all clients then check your
network for any routers / firewwalls in between segments of clients and the OTC
boot server. If the SAME clents and server work in your office environment but
not production then it's a network issue.

Hi,
I have successfully installed, booted and tested OTC (Windows) in my office
environment without major problems and it works beautifully.
The problems I am having are when I installed it in the production environment.
I can't seem to get one client past the "Mounting root file system " prompt.
Any ideas of what may be wrong would be highly appreciated.
