Hi Julian,
In an ideal situation OTC tries to respond to DHCP requests to direct the
client to use the OTC Server for PXE boot. Unfortunately when it DOESN'T work
- which appears to be fairly rare - then you have to configure your DHCP server
to provide the information that OTC would normally send.
Add the following Windows DHCP options to your DHCP scope:
Option #043, 'Vendor Specific Info', Hex: 01 04 00 00 00 00
Option #060, 'Client Identifier', String: PXEClient
Option #066, 'Boot Server Host Name', String: <your OTC Server's IP address
here>
Option #067, 'Bootfile Name', String: pxelinux.0
Options 060, 066 and 067 are standard PXE options. Option 043 is a
poorly-documented (or at least poorly-understood) setting that is required by
some PXE stacks to prevent them from trying to use MTFTP to load the boot file.
Let us know how it goes.
Incidentally, this should probably be a FAQ item. Could someone please add
this to the OTC website?
For the *nix people among us, the dhcpd equivalent seems to be:
# 043, 'Vendor Specific Info', HEX: 01 04 00 00 00 00
option vendor-encapsulated-options 1:4:0:0:0:0
# 060, 'Client Identifier', String: PXEClient
option vendor-class-identifier "PXEClient";
# 066, 'Boot Server Host Name', String: 192.168.1.2
# Change the address here to point to your OTC Server
option next-server 192.168.1.2;
# 067, 'Bootfile Name', String: pxelinux.0
filename "pxelinux.0";

Subject: [openthinclient-user] OpenThinClient Server Windows XP with DHCP on
Windows 2003
Hi
I have trouble with the OpenTC Server running on WinXP and the DHCP on Win
2003. I configured the Windows 2003 DHCP with option 060 PXEClient. The client
gets an ip address but does not connect to the OpenTC server. I tried to use
the 066 DHCP option but nothing happens.
How I have to configure the dhcp? Dhcp server is a windows 2003 and the OpenTC
is a Windows xp. Both are in the same subnet
