Hi,
I have just purchased a new Desktop Computer with Windows 7 Professional on it Specs are Dual Core Processor, 300GB HDD, 2GB RAM. I also installed VirtualBox 4 on this Machine.
I also had an old PC having Novell Netware 4.11 Server Installed on a 2GB HDD. A few Thin Client (Disk Less Nodes) used to boot through a RPL Boot Rom and attached them selves to this computer.
So .. I decided not to have a dedicated PC for Netware, therefore I created an Virtual Hard Drive Image of the Netware’s Computer Hard Disk and Attached it to a Virtual PC in the VirtualBox.
As expected the Netware Server Started off smoothly in the VirtualBox. then I changed the network driver to match that of the virtualbox.
So far so Good…Here is the Problem I am facing.
But amazingly I can attach to the Virtual Netware Server and see all its content browsing through WinXP’s Netware Networks (having Microsoft Netware Client Installed as provided by Microsoft in WinXP).
It would be a great help if anybody can tell me how to boot diskless nodes off this virtual server so created.
Thanks
Akshay
I guess, you’re dealing with a firewall problem.
The WinXP clients, using Microsoft Client for Netware uses IPX protocol, but PXE boot needs TCP/IP to boot diskless from the network.
Well I Solved it : My Bad was not Using Bind RPL Command
