Hi Corey, thanks for your idea. I tried as you said, but it does not work.
I tried to install the otc on the same machine as the dhcp. In that case otc recognizes the client and I can add the client as thin clint. But the client not load the otc os. There is an error loading from tftp. Is there a way to check wether the otc server will react on request? What I mean is to send a request manually to the otc server in first step. Second step would be to send a request to the network manually and check wich server responds.

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"; Regards, Corey Murtagh Asia-Pacific IT Support International, Cruise & Excursion, Inc Phone: 07 5514 3333 Extn 8197 | Mobile: 0435417766 -----Original Message----- From: Julian Ohm [mailto:j...@ohm-meyer.de] Sent: Monday, 28 November 2011 10:16 PM To: openthinclient-user@lists.sourceforge.net 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 Greets Julian ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- All the data continuously generated in your IT infrastructure contains a definitive record of customers, application performance, security threats, fraudulent activity, and more.
