You should certainly be able to search in the GUI by MAC address, however sometimes even then the host won’t display due to other issues. Using SQL, you can always find items.
Please have a read through the topic Sebastion mentioned. You might also look at this Wiki article: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Troubleshoot_MySQL#Database_Maintenance_Commands
@3mu I have a one off kernel that has the updated realtek drivers in it. Lets give this one a shot. Download this kernel and save it as bzImageRT (watch the case) https://drive.google.com/file/d/1wZwwOwbEr0nR3mnPLKg7AsulwJaGhO0A/view?usp=sharing
Move that file to the fog server in `/var/www/html/fog/service/ipxe directory.
Manually register this target host
In the host definition there is a field Kernel. In that field enter bzImageRT
Save the host definition
Setup a capture/deploy task
PXE boot the target computer and see if it picks up an IP address with this kernel.
@Sebastian-Roth Thanks Sebastian, that’s what I was wondering, I won’t bother with NAT in VirtualBox then. Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to try and get this set up and tested.
Yes, I do have two physical network interfaces. The machine is a Lenovo M92 with one network port. I’m using that for the imaging network and attached a USB to ethernet adapter for the business network. They are both in bridged mode.
@p4cm4n You can do that, there is a tutorial (for uefi) to create a boot drive the easy way. This will load iPXE from a usb stick and then boot into FOG. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/6350/usb-boot-uefi-client-into-fog-menu-easy-way
For those that can’t use iPXE I have FOS Linux on a usb stick too. You lose about 30% of the functionality of FOG but you can image no problem with it. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/7727/building-usb-booting-fos-image
