Hi,

I was trying to boot a Vm machine using PXE but it doesn't work.
It gets the details from the DHCP server but never proceeds and giving the error:

PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout

I have tried the several network card types available, bridged mode and either with the lastest version of VBox or the previous one the result is the same.
If instead i boot my computer and try PXE boot it works without problem.
Any idea what might be happening here?

Thanks.

First make sure the VB's are on the same connection(like internal network). Then make sure the settings on the machine you are pushing the information from has all requirements for a pxe push(dhcp,dns, ect.)

The network settings seem to be proper.
It receives the IP details settings from the DHCP server along with the TFTP server, pxe file name and so.
And the DHCP/TFTP settings are ok, as like i said if i use the computer directly to use PXE it work without error.

The Guest VM gets the details and then it just keeps logging these:

Guest Log: etwrite() passed - Packet sent.

What puzzles me a bit is this:

00:00:36.835 Guest Log: tftp_open() == -4
00:00:36.835 Guest Log: tftp_close()
00:00:36.835 Guest Log: bootfile: pxelinux.0
00:00:36.835 Guest Log: FileSize = 0 bufsize = 559104


FileSize = 0 ??? Shouldn't it detect the proper size of the pxelinux.0 file?
