Hi Steven,
You could use any Ethernet interface on the host (like eth0, for
example), but if you do not want your DHCP server to be visible on LAN
you can use vboxnet0 interface and 'Host-only adapter' attachment
instead of 'Bridged adapter', which is nearly the same as using
'Bridged' with tap0. You can configure vboxnet0 settings in Network
tab in Preferences.

Hi,
Does anyone successfully use the virtual network card Intel PRO/

PXE boot the virtual machine?
I have setup a PXE server to provide the PXE booting on tap0, and
if I
use PCnet-FAST III (Bridged adapter, tap0), I can successfully PXE
boot
the virtual machine.
However, if I use the setting: Intel PRO/1000 MT Desktop (Bridged
adapter, tap0), it fails with the error message:
FATAL: Could not read from the boot medium! System halted.
Pretty much expected behavior, as Makefile.kmk in the directory
Etherboot-src builds Etherboot in a way which only includes the
pcnet32 driver. There are no other drivers in our subset of the
Etherboot source tree. So adding boot support for Intel network
cards would require adding the necessary driver to our tree, and
adapt the build process so that it creates an Etherboot ROM which
contains both the pcnet32 and e1000 drivers.
So far no one complained, and as the closed source version comes
with the Intel PXE code I assume very few people noticed.
Is that possible to use gPXE firmware for the Intel NIC?
Out of curiosity: why are you still using tap devices?
It's because the only thing I know is to run a PXE server on the
tap device. If there is a better way to make it, please tell me.
Thanks in advance.
Steven.
I am using Virtualbox OSE 3.0.8. Anything special I have to pay
attention for Intel Pro/1000 card? Does anyone know how should I
make it?
Thanks.
Hope that points in the right direction...
Klaus
