[SOLVED]-PXE booting

[DR I]

Hi everyone,

Is there anybody who already has test to boot a VM machine with a PXE server (Altiris here)?

I try to boot from my Virtual machine over PXE but every time I launch the download after a variable time (5mins or more) the server says me that the download can't continue due to an image or network error.

BUT with a normal machine, I mean non-virtual host, there is no problems.

I've notice that under the VMs my network rate is under 17MB instead of 220MB normally with the host.
My VMs is bridge with the host like that:

VMs--tap0--|----br0----|eth0

My VMs machine is plug on the tap0 adapter whose connect on the br0 adapter whose connect on eth0 whose connect on the LAN.

I can take control of the machine trought RDP protocol correctly from my administrator computer under Windows with mstsc, I see correctly the BIOS Initialization etc.

My Admin machine is 10.27.14.23
My Server is on 10.27.190.1
My Tap0 machine is on 10.27.190.51

So I know that my virtual machine could access to the network because I take control of them with my admin machine.

Cheers.

Try switching the guest to use Intel e1000 server as network card.

From VboxManage

With Intel it's worst, I can't access to the PXE the DHCP doesn't offers any address.

The only adapter who can access to the PXE is Am79C973.

The other one cannot.
