windows 7 and dhcp

Is there anything different between windows xp and windows7 that would cause
windows 7 not to respond to dhcp? I have my windows XP image and everything
works fine so I decided to set up a Win7 machine to test it out... the image
captures fine but when trying to reserve it, it gives me the same not
responding to ssh message I had before. I checked the /var/log/messages and
it never shows a offer/request/ack message for the IP like it does when I
reserve the windows XP image.

DHCP is never receiving the DHCPACK from the VM.  It could be a default 
gateway/routing problem on the Windows 7 VM.  You don't need to perform 
the entire VCL reload to troubleshoot this.  Try this:

-Start `tail -f /var/log/messages` on the management node
-Log into the Windows 7 VM via the VMware console
-Open a command prompt
-Run `ipconfig /release` then `ipconfig /renew`, see what appears in the 
messages file
-Disable the public network interface
-Run `ipconfig /release` then `ipconfig /renew` again, did this change 
anything?

Re: windows 7 and dhcp

Posted by Tyler Hardesty <th...@gmail.com>.
Ok, so I do have some problem with windows 7... I've created two windows XP
machines and they work just fine but when trying windows 7, it never
acknowledges the IP, I just get the following in /var/log/messages...and
when I open the image up on vmware it seems just fine, looks like it's using
lsi logic and just sits at the login screen...:

Man, sorry to take up space but I actually found it here in the month of
April. I changed the logic type in vmware to lsi logic SAS and it powered up
just fine... so tomorrow I'll try and create a new image and double check to
make sure its set to lsi logic and not lsi logic sas. If that still doesn't
work I'll let you know.

Oh, follow-up, I didn't even bother checking the machine on vmware before.
So I just did now and when windows 7 tries to boot it goes into start up
repair. When going through the archive I think I remember seeing someone
else with the problem and I think it got resolved?! But I just can't find it
now, if anyone knows which month it's under (if it even exists) just let me
know and I'll be happy to try some more trouble shooting and researching on
my own.
