    I’ve been given the task to convert all of our Wyse Thin clients running Win 7 embedded to a 0-client version similar to that of the Xenith boxes we also own. While my Xenith boxes are working great in terms of getting their config file off our FTP server, I’m running into issues with the now 2 converted thin clients.

    During boot I keep getting:
    Contacting File Server….
    DNS/WINS can’t resolve [FTPserver.domain.com]
    DNS/WINS can’t resolve [wyseftpfbc4tc]

    I’ve looked through the forums already and tried a bunch of different things (like adding the wyseftpfbc4tc as an alias of my FTP server).

    I have options 161 and 162 set, and are working fine for my Xenith boxes.
    I have copied my configuration xen.ini and renamed is wnos.ini once I found out the converted thin clients look for wnos instead of xen. I am not using any Wyse Device Manager software, simply the FTP server to distribute the config files.

    Below is my config file and my FTP log regarding the client:

    Check locally on the client – System Setup-Central Configuration-Fileserver.
    What is shown there? Does it correspond to your ftp server setup?

    from what I can see yes, it has \\ftpserver.domain.com/wy (then it goes off screen). The File Server/Path is tinted in green and grayed out though.

    UN and PW are set to anonymous which is correct.

    The only “special” setup I have that is different is in my DHCP 162 settings. The way my FTP server is setup, you start already in the Wyse folder, because of that my 162 option has to be /$ to truncate the path so that is skips looking for the Wyse folder and directly for the wnos folder. Works fine with the Xeniths…would the converted thins not be able to react/see the truncation the same way?

    So, your OT162 ends with $, correct?
    This means that the Wyse folder should not be used. From your observation the local Fileserver entry shows /wyse/, which souldn’t be.
    Check your ftp server log to see if the clients (Xenith vs. ThinOS) try to access the same folder structure.
    Make sure the converted units really do get an IP from this DHCP server and not a different one.

    Yes, it looks like they are looking at the same place. According to the FTP logs it looks as though the converted client is actually seeing and attempting to access and read the wnos.ini config file, but then disconnects and fails. I’m beginning to wonder if it’s something in the config file that’s causing the system to refuse to load it?

    Here is the FTP logs, 10.10.50 is a working Xenith, 10.10.0 is my converted client:

    Gah, I found the reasoning.

    Apparently the Xenith’s are more than fine using the fqdn for the 161 option, but the Converted dont. Once I change the option to just the IP address, it got it’s config file fine.

    Thank you for your help and advice of what to look at!
