Total newb here, so please help me out.
So, I created the xen.ini file using the configuration generator. Looks pretty straight forward. Now, I think I setup up my ftp server and my http server correct.
I can access the FTP server using my web browser, but when I put the path on the central configuration on the xenith thin client, I get the following errors:
Looking up WDM server by DNS hostname…
DNS/WINS can’t resolve [wdmserver]
Looking up WDM server by DNS SRV record…
DNS sendto error: Host is unreachable
DNS sendto error: Host is unreachable
DNS/WINS can’t resolve [wdmserver._tcp.utep.edu]
Contacting file server… {takes a really long time in this step when boooting}
Cannot access system profile
Checking software ftp:/wnos/T00_xen…
Checking software ftp:/wnos/T00_xen.bin…
Checking software ftp:/wnos/DOVE_EC.bin…I read in another server about a similar issue and the guys say that when the ftp admins created the specific folder, the client was able to connect. Now, this is what I am using as the file path:
X – represent IP’s
Z – represent server nameftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/inetpub/ftproot/wnos/t00_xen/xen.ini
ftp://zzzzzzzz.zzz.zzz/inetpub/ftproot/wnos/t00_xen/xen.iniWhat am I doing wrong? My xen.ini file is really simple (for now, doing tests), here it is:

What am I doing wrong?
April 13, 2013 at 1:32 pm #23745Do you have entered this locally at the client?
Now, this is what I am using as the file path:
X – represent IP’s
Z – represent server nameftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/inetpub/ftproot/wnos/t00_xen/xen.ini
ftp://zzzzzzzz.zzz.zzz/inetpub/ftproot/wnos/t00_xen/xen.iniIf yes, this is the issue.
Change everything like this:
Folderstructure on the FTP server:
ftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/inetpub/ftproot/t00_xen/wnos/xen.ini
Fileserver entry on the client
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/t00_xenThat’s all. you can even remove the t00_xen folder completely and use
ftp://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX/inetpub/ftproot/wnos/xen.ini
and fileserver=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxThin OS will always add /wnos to the given fileserver automatically and it always knows that the name of the config file is either wnos.ini (Thin OS) or xen.ini (Xenith)

I cannot believe the fix was that easy. Thank you for your response. Got it working. Appreciate it.

April 16, 2013 at 5:56 pm #23763Can I use the same server to manipulate older version of thin client with the ability to apply different setting? I’ve been googling but haven’t found an answer..
April 19, 2013 at 10:16 am #23774You can always use the same server. Maybe it is a good idea to use different folders to separate different firmware and config files. You cannot put more than one firmware or config file in the same folder.
