Using C10LE with WTOS7 as a Kiosk

Using C10LE with WTOS7 as a Kiosk

I have a Wyse C10LE with WTOS 7 on it, and we were interested in having be setup as a simple Kiosk. 
A user would turn on the Wyse C10LE if it was off, and it would start up and open a Basic Lockdown desktop on our Citrix XenDesktop. No username or password is required by the user to enter.

We have other C10LE clients out there so I do not want to make changes to our wnos.ini file, so I was looking into what I can do with the mac.ini file, or more correctly the (no extension) file.

Our PnLiteServer is set by DHCP options.

Here is the wnos.ini file:
---Begin wnos.ini---
autoload=2
DomainList=
DisableDomain=yes
TimeZone='GMT - 05:00' ManualOverride=yes Daylight=yes Start=030207 End=110107 \
TimeZoneName="Eastern Standard Time" DayLightName="Eastern Daylight Time"
AdminMode=yes Admin-Username=xxx Admin-Password=xxxx
Privilege=None HideSysInfo=Yes
AutoSignOff=yes Shutdown=no reboot=yes
include=$mac
---End wnos.ini---

My first mac.ini file was this:
---Begin mac.ini---
TerminalName="TC-Kiosk-0001" Reboot=yes
SignOn=No DisableGuest=yes

Connect=ICA \
BrowserIP= \
Application="XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop" \
Description="Kiosk Desktop" \
FullScreen=yes \
AutoConnect=yes \
Username-enc=xxxx \
Password-enc=xxxx \
Domain=
---End mac.ini---

I restart the C10LE and I get "ICA[XendDesktop:Kiosk Desktop]: Connection timed out"

the wtos_log.txt has the following entries:
---begin wtos_log.txt---
ICA: Connecting to "XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop" ...
DNS/WINS can't resolve [XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop]
socket connect: Connection timed out
ICA[XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop]: Connection timed out
---End wtos_log.txt---

so as a test I changed the SignOn value to yes in the mac.ini file, and restarted the C10Le. This time I get the log on screen, where I type in the username and password. I get the same "ICA[XendDesktop:Kiosk Desktop]: Connection timed out" but I now get the menu of two choices, both are listed as "Kiosk Desktop".

The difference in the settings between the two are in the Application Name as Logon fields:
Entry 1 - Connection - Application Name = "XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop"
Entry 1 - Logon - Logon Username =
Entry 1 - Logon - Password = ****
Entry 1 - Logon - Domain Name =

Entry 2 - Connection - Application Name = "XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop $S1-1"
Entry 2 - Logon - Logon Username = $UN
Entry 2 - Logon - Password = ****
Entry 2 - Logon - Domain Name = $DN

When I select Entry 1 I get the same time out error, but when I click Entry 2 it logs me into the Kiosk Desktop.

Based on that I changed the mac.ini to the following:
---Begin mac.ini---
TerminalName="TC-Kiosk-0001" Reboot=yes
SignOn=No DisableGuest=yes

Connect=ICA \
BrowserIP= \
Application="XenDesktop:Kiosk Desktop $S1-1" \
Description="Kiosk Desktop" \
FullScreen=yes \
AutoConnect=yes \
Username-enc=xxxx \
Password-enc=xxxx \
Domain=
---End mac.ini---

Restarted the C10LE, and now I get the same time out error message with the new Application name.

So any thoughts on what I might be doing incorrectly?
