I’ve installed DTM Controller/Studio on a VirtualBox VM (Win 2003 Server R2), and I want to use the
host (Win7 x64) as a client. I can install the DTM client nicely, they’re using the host-only network adapter
of Vbox, host+guest can ping each other, they’re on same workgroup (no domain controller), but YET the
client machine refuses to popup in the default machine pool (!?) 
Ideas?
TIA

Sorry, but I’m not sure about the network problem.
BUT, don’t some/many of the tests reboot the client? Which will cause
problems in your situation.

Ok, then. Now I have a fresh Win7 x64 installation on a client machine (with static IP) which is connected to
another machine with the controller/studio (also static IP) connected with a switch (no connection to LAN/WAN).
Only odd thing with the controller might be that I had to install 2003 server in a VM (bridged mode), couldn’t get ANY
network connection otherwise (!)
The machines can ping each other, I installed the DTM client etc. etc (wttsvc is running). But the client machine just
refuses to show up in the default machine pool.
Should it really be this hard just to get the environment going? I’m starting to go nuts here.

When I am doing WHQL test my Windows PV drivers. I use almost the same
architecture as yours but didn’t get the problem you meet. I install
Oracle VM server (Xen base) in a server and create two VMs on it. One is
Windows Server 2003 R2 represented as DTM controller/studio, the other
one is the test target Windows. Network devices of these VM are attached
on the same bridge of Oracle VM server. In target Windows, install DTM
client from the share folder of DTM controller (not sure you did the
same way, but we have to do like this). DTM studio and DTM client can
ping each other isn’t enough, they have to can access each other from My
Network Place or \Studio Name. DTM studio discover DTM client from
computer name instead if IP address.
BTW, static IP is recommended for DTM studio and client. Otherwise some
test cases may fail.
Thanks

Thnx Wayne, although everything you’ve written, I have done. Does not work anyway
I need the client machine be physical as the driver to be tested is a bulk usb driver
connected to a usb device…

Sorry, it worked out of the box for me. Sometimes it takes a few
minutes to show up.
Did you install the DTM client from a share on the server?
Have you rebooted either/both machines?

Yup.

Several times
Just for fun, I’ll add a new VM with XP (as Wayne’s system) and see if I can get them to
“speak”…

Nope. That doesn’t work either. Same subnet, same workgroup, both pingable. Still no sign of
a client machine in the pool !!! WTF???
I did:
Sorry I don’t know how to help you.
Maybe you can send mail to xxxxx@microsoft.com to get more help.
Thanks

Dammit. Don’t know what happened really, but the client machine eventually popped up. Hate it
when something gets “fixed” like that…
Now I just need to work out which of the myriad of tests apply…
Thnx all anyway for trying to help.
