Hi,
I've build a linux server with iscsi-target. On a Windows XP SP3 client, have tested MS iSCSI and StarPort, i'm able to connect (initiator show the drive with status connected) but the drive never appear in the Disk Manager. I've tested to connect with a linux client and my disk is working.
Do you have some tips to help me find the problem?
Thanks

Could you please give a try to something else on both initiator (say try MSiSCSI on the client) and target (say StarWind Free or MSiSCSI Target). And let us know would it work. Just as an experiment 
If yes we'll kindly ask you to capture Wireshark log (hope not).
Thank you!
P.S. Do you have 4KB sectors configured on your Linux target?
P.P.S. What size of target do you export? Less then 2TB LUN? What Windows OS do you use?

Ok, i'll try a windows target. Does iSCSI is limited at 2TB ? The LUN I try is 5TB !!!
The Windows client is XP SP3

That's the point iSCSI is not limited, Windows XP is 2TB LUN limited. Either update your Windows OS to 64-bit one, use GPT rather then MBR partitions or break down your whole 5TB thing to a set of sub-2TB LUNs. Good luck!
