MATLAB: Am I able to boot the target with floppy or USB but am not able to network boot with xPC Target 5.3 (R2012b)

cannotfailurefirewallSimulink Real-Timewindows

I want to boot my target via Network Boot method. I am able to boot via floppy and USB. When I attempt to boot via Network Boot, the Windows Notification appears in the bottom right corner of the screen saying:
 xPC Target Network Boot Server
 Network boot server is started
However, I do not receive the second notification that should say:
 xPC Target Network Boot Server
 Booting target with MAC XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX

Best Answer

This can occur if Windows Firewall is preventing MATLAB from connecting to the target. Disable Windows Firewall completely or change the settings to prevent it from interfering with MATLAB.
