Since Upgrading to 1.2.0 I can't multicast

[Nathan Blehi]

Ever since I uprated to Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 12.04, I have not been able to multicast. I register the hosts, assign image, and add them to a group. I then multicast the group and PXE boot all the hosts. It runs through the process and eventually gets to a Please Wait screen that just hangs there forever. I tried restarting the Multicast Service and still no luck. I am very new to Fog and Ubuntu and need multicast to work before the start of school. I would use unicast, but I can’t have more than one going at a time or it crashes the school’s network. Do I have a setting wrong? Can someone please help?!

On the fog server, run:
[code]sudo service FOGMulticastManager stop
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo killall udp-sender
sudo service FOGMulticastManager start[/code]

It worked!! Thank you very much Tom!!

Another side question.

When I do a unicast whether it is 1 or 10 it seems to crash the network. Any ideas? Just so you know, our server is located on a standalone machine that we can take room to room with us.

Thanks for all of you help.

Hey Tom, Once the multicast has completed it just hangs at the 100% and i get a blinking cursor at the bottom. I tried to restart one of the computers and now just get a blinking cursor on start up. Any thoughts?
