No cable connected, still trying DHCP Req
No cable connected, still trying DHCP Req
Strange behaviour. Ive provisioned a disk to one laptop that I am testing with. I'm attempting to boot it from the disk, disconnecting the network cable to do so, even turned the wireless off incase it was that but no.
The post boot task still runs, trying to find a DHCP server. It even says that its exiting PXE.
Ends up with it asking me to enter a static IP or press ESC. If I press esc it boots normally from the provisioned disk offline mode.
I have not seen this behavior before, have I done something wrong?
Edit: it might be because my first provisioning failed, and I saw an extra pratition or two that looked alot like wyse prov. disks in the disk manager after it succeeded the second time. Will format all disks and test provisioning again.

This is the design of the local WSM Bootstrap. If it cannot find a WSM Server via DHCP or DNS lookup, it will ask you to enter an authentication server.
More details in the WSM Sizing and Planning Guide, which is available from the Wyse KB.

It always says 'no cable connected'; trying to enter IP-values manually doesn't help either, buth status-LEDs on the NIC are flashing happily.

It your cable had been installed for a while(years) the coaxial cable may be outdated, therefore not carrying the signal as well as it could.
