I am trying to create a VM containing a Windows 7 installed OS image obtained via network/PXE booting. After creating a new VM, I changed the boot order in Virtual Box and selected the "Bridged Adapter" option. This is on Ubuntu 10.04.3 using version 4.1.8 of VBox.
Being on a campus, we use a central DHCP server on which I earlier
registered the MAC address corresponding to the new VM. What is
puzzling is the DHCP-assigned IP address for the new machine ("Me")
shown in VBox's console is 0.0.0.0. Note that I can run 'nslookup' (or
equivalent) from the command line and see the correct, assigned IP
address (152.10.x.y).
Something appears to be "not right" with DHCP. The process "dies" after
displaying a couple of error messages: "No filename" and "No bootable
medium found".
Here's a screen shot of the console window produced after "running" the VM:

Anyone know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks for your ideas/comments/suggestions! -- Prof Kenneth H Jacker [email protected] Computer Science Dept www.cs.appstate.edu/~khj Appalachian State Univ Boone, NC 28608 USA
