Let me see if I understand what you're saying...<br><br>You have a server that's running freenx, and providing PXE boot images over<br>tftp. Freenx is working fine since a separate WinXP nxclient can connect.<br><br>You are having problems with the PXE booting, but say nothing about what it is
<br>you're trying to boot. You also can't connect when booting from CD, but don't<br>say which version of which CD, or which version of the nxclient it uses.<br><br>I assume you're trying to boot a diskless linux client with an nxclient on it.
<br>I suggest you try PXES which is a builder for thin client PXE boot images and<br>has an option for nxclient. The standard prebuilt image has the nxclient in<br>it, along with RDP, VNC, XDM etc. Images are available for booting using PXE,
<br>Etherboot and CD. The howto got me started when I knew nothing about PXE<br>booting. Find it at <a href="http://www.2x.com/pxes/">http://www.2x.com/pxes/</a><br><br>On Wednesday 14 June 2006 03:32, Humberto Valiente wrote:
