      The internet is full of similar kind of issues (not really a ‘FOG problem’):

      Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          Can you see DHCP (or any other) traffic on the virtual network interface within your windows host using wireshark? I don’t have windows with virtualbox installed here but as far as I remember it should be possible to caputre those packets.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

            Actually, Now you say that. I let the WIN7 box boot using the PC-NET adaptor. Once windows logs in the network connection is down. Says the driver failed to install. Did a google around to find one and can’t for the life of me find one to get it working. Even Virtual box forums are just saying to use the Intel Adaptor but we all know that has issues with PXE booting.

            If I use the intel adaptor the network status is fine. So looks like I potentially need to get this adaptor working on the PC-net, but can’t find a driver. 😕

              Ok I tried another solution where by some people have been having issues PXE booting with windows so I made both a Mac and a Linux VM and set them to boot to their network cards.

              The linux VM gave me the error FATAL: No Bootable medium found! System Halted

              I have remote access enabled to these servers if anyone would be up for remote in and taking a look?

                Change your network adapters to E1000

                              I had the same problem, some peoples have problems with pxe boot in virtualbox 4.3

                              Can you install a older version of virtualbox? For example 4.2

                                Ok, seemed to have got it working…sort of.

                                Seems there must of been an issue with the network adaptors or the install on the machine I was running Virtualbox on. I tried to uninstall virtual box and do a reinstall but it would hang when removing the network adaptors. Finally managed to get it to uninstall. Tried another re install but again it would hang on installing the network adaptors and kill my network. So now I can’t install virtual box on the server I wanted it on.

                                I’ve now installed Virtualbox on my laptop and started again from scratch and the windows VM now boots to FOG 🙂 whoop!

                                But I’m now getting the following error when I register the Host - see attached file.

                                The screen then changes and says its attempting to register the host but nothing happens further

                                          Do you get anything after “Starting network…”???

                                          The above ‘IP-Config’ warnings/errors derive from the linux kernel (see here: [url]http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c#L1469[/url]). To me that sounds like the kernel has trouble to talk to the network and therefore other things like linux dhclient won’t be able to get an address from the DHCP-server either. This is just guessing as I don’t have an insight into what is really going on in your setup.

                                          Can you capture the traffic on that virtual network interface within your windows host using wireshark??

                                          You can try booting any kind of linux live CD (e.g. ubuntu) in that virtualbox container to see if network is alright with that…
