[gPXE] Q:iscsi-target, gpxe and windows 7

[Miller, Shao]

Good day Jörn Rink,

I've forwarded your responses to the mailing list in case others have helpful thoughts to share.

Another test might be to put the HDD back in the computer and see if you can attach iSCSI targets from the OS.  This might help to identify a cause for fault.  I do believe you had mentioned that there was no firewall.

By the way, you haven't made any "persistent" iSCSI connections from the OS, have you?  I would advise against it.
