    LTSP Server with 1 Physical NIC and 1 Virtual NIC: Cannot boot Thin-Client

    Guys I am stuck. This is LTSP related.

    1. I have LTSP server isntalled in Xubuntu (Guest OS).
    2. I have got only 1 wifi nic which is wlan0 and connected to Internet.
    3. Thin-Cleint is installed in VirtualBox.

    Can I have this virtual thin-cleint booted up through LTSP server with only one physical NIC. I suppose there has to be a way to use a virtual network adapter and point ltsp dhcp server to that adapter and when a thin client booted up, this dhcp server should offer an IP but I have not been able to do this.


    All what I am trying to do is to create a test case where we only have:

    1 Physical NIC and 1 virtual NIC and have this whole set-up running in my Laptop.

    Please help..Here is a bit more details

    Host OS Xubuntu 13.04 is the LTSP server. 1 wifi card connected to Internet. I have got wlan0 (addr:192.168.1.2) and virbr0 (addr:192.168.122.1). virbr0 is created by libvirt and not Virtual Box.


    Thin Client Guest OS installed in Virtual Box. /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf edited with these values:

    authoritative;

    subnet 192.168.122.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    range 192.168.122.20 192.168.122.250;
    option domain-name "example.com";
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.122.1;
    option broadcast-address 192.168.122.255;
    option routers 192.168.122.1;

    Thin client virtual network is this: Attached to: Bridged Adapter, Name: virbr0.
    When booting up says searching for server ip (DHCP)....No IP.No IP.No IP.

    I do not think that virtual box is able to use virbr0 which is created by libvirt.

    I have other guest OS and point their network adapter to bridged virbr0 but could not obtain any IP.

    Here are some pics to illustrate.
