Hello all,

When attempting to PXE boot a new virtual machine on a Windows 7 host machine, I receive the above error message in addition to a 'PXE-E3C - TFTP Error - Access Violation' message.

Any ideas?

Many thanks.

Hello all.

I was having the same issue as the OP, and since he has not responded with a resolution I figured I would chime in with what I did.

I went into the settings of the machine I was having trouble with. I configured the network to use a "Bridged Adapter" and confirmed the adapter selected was the same as whats installed on the physical machine. The default for this setting was NAT. I also dropped down advanced and changed Promiscuous Mode to "Allow All" (Im not sure if this in necessary). After that I started the machine and was able to network boot to my deployment share as I was expecting to.

Another note I want to make (from what I know it has nothing to do with the issue at hand, but for documentation purposes...). We have 2 networks setup in our lab, one being the normal network that everyone uses, and the other being the Lab network that is able to access our Windows Deployment server. The computer I am using to host the VM was on the normal network (an oversight on my part) so I just ran a wire from the Lab switch to my computer till the Windows install was complete.

Hope this helps.
