When I use the PV NIC driver on the Windows DHCP server, the network monitor doesn't list any network devices. I don't haven't tried using anything else to capture frames from the Windows domU, so I can't say for sure that the server isn't getting the DHCP requests, but after swapping the server's NIC driver out for the PV version, even bare-metal clients fail to PXE boot. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ xen-discuss mailing list [email protected]
