<DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I am able to create a vm client and boot gPXE and connect to WSS2008 with no problems.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I have other full OS's in VM (Ubuntu, and another Win2008r2) that can communicate with with the WSS2008 VM. These other VM OS's can also ping the physical gPXE clients</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2"></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2">What i haven't had a chance to do yet is to boot a physical PC with an OS and see if i can hit the WSS2008 box. I will try that in the morning. If all else fails i will rebulid the WSS2008 image or just scratch it and try Starwind iSCSI target on another server.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV dir="ltr"><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I was hoping to use the WSS but if i can't i will find another way.</FONT></DIV>
