Hi,

I am testing out the openthinclient in a virtual box machine. According to 
openthinclient, you need a separate dhcp server for clients as it does not 
provide one.

At first, I bridged both the openthinclient server and client to en0 which was 
connected to my dlink router. This setup was successful. However, I wanted to 
try it without the router so I attempted to install an ubuntu server (on 
virtual box) with an added dhcp server however this did not work. The thin 
client gives the error message that no boot file name was passed to it.

any ideas? whats the difference in having the dhcp server on a router vs on a 
server installation?

 Here is the portion of the dhcp.conf file that I created. Could this be 
causing a problem?

subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.250;
option domain-name "example.org"
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
}
