./default.ipxe Timeout During pxe boot|FOG 1.1.0|Ubuntu 14.04|proxyDNS|Worked on Home Network

[QUOTE]First, I’m confused by this statement : “we have only 2gb data of Internet data at work - sucks to be me” .[/QUOTE]

It’s not really the issue here, its a separate test network. Totally isolated from main network. They limit us on Internet so we won’t “play”.

[QUOTE]At anyrate, the default.ipxe time out issue, what do you mean? You came to work and it stopped working? Are you trying to access your home network to pxe boot? Or are you bringing the system in to your work place? [/QUOTE]

Not trying to access my home network at all. I built it at home, worked fine. It’s a duplicate network (besides the internet), same router and switch configuration. Testing with previous versions of FOG and Ubuntu (built at home/used at work) had no issue with default.ipxe and went to PXE menus. But we wanted to go with Ubuntu 14.04, company reasons not mine. Now the default.ipxe connection times out.

If you open the file /tftpboot/default.ipxe in a text editor, does the ip information look correct?

Is the permissions of the /tftpboot/ folder set properly?

[code]sudo chown -R fog:root /tftpboot[/code]
Is the firewall disabled?
[code]sudo ufw disable[/code]

I know you said that they are identical switch config - but just in case. I was playing with STP and it created some odd issues. Does your work switch have STP enabled?

[JoeWagner]

Spanning Tree Protocol disabled

[JoeWagner]

Figured it out. We use dd-wrt on our routers, and someone turned on DNSMasq on the router…so I had 2 DNSMasq running…turned it off on the router…viola.

Curious though how that wasn’t an issue with previous versions of FOG.

[Tom Elliott]

If you’re running DD WRT on the routers couldnt you just use the services Dhcp-boot options to point at TFTP rather than using proxy DHCP?

[JoeWagner]

yes, but we want to set up as though its on the regular network

[Tom Elliott]

It would still be

[Tom Elliott]

That’s of course the regular network is not the same as your DD WRT network

[JoeWagner]

correct
