You can troubleshoot PXE booting using this tutorial, it’s really through: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_TFTP[/url]
-
is there a log file that I can send about the pxe boot issue?
-
Sort of… there’s a script that’s still under development that you could try. It produces a log file that has lots of important configuration in it… It’s attached, along with sample output. The sample output is no use to you, it just shows what the output might look like.
Also, you might be better off just giving us screen-shots of the errors you’re seeing. Maybe a TCPDump of the communications, too: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/TCPDump[/url]
For more info on the troubleshooting script, look through this thread. And keep in mind, it’s still a very new thing.
This script doesn’t change anything, either. It just collects information. [url]http://fogproject.org/forum/threads/lets-make-scripts.12551/[/url][url=“/_imported_xf_attachments/1/1900_FogScript.zip?:”]FogScript.zip[/url]

this is what I get when I run the script.
t_tiger@fogsrv1:~/Downloads$ ./TroubleshootFog.sh
status: Unknown job: tftpd-hpa
status: Unknown job: isc-dhcp-server
status: Unknown job: rpcbind
status: Unknown job: vsftpd
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘ip_tables’: Operation not permitted
iptables v1.4.21: can’t initialize iptables table `filter’: Table does not exist (do you need to insmod?)
Perhaps iptables or your kernel needs to be upgraded.
./TroubleshootFog.sh: line 92: sestatus: command not found
cat: /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf: No such file or directory -
Try this one, instead please.
It will create a text file in the location that it was run in. Post that file.

Where does it store the log file at, that you would need to look at?
-
This particular script stores the log in the place where the script is run from.

here u go

Can you post a screen shot of the error you’re seeing?

[COLOR=#555555][FONT=Arial]Now you should stop and start the DHCP server.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#555555][FONT=Courier New]sudo service isc-dhcp-server stop[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#555555][FONT=Arial] (if the service is already running; skip if it’s not running)[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#555555][FONT=Courier New]sudo service isc-dhcp-server start[/FONT][/COLOR][/quote]Going off of what Mr. Hales posted, you might also want to restrict DHCP to your eth0 interface. I see in the log file you provided that there are several interfaces on this machine.

I’m sorry, I should have been more clear.
Can you take a picture with a camera of the errors you see when you try to network-boot a computer ?

I’ve viewed a picture that fredlwal sent me.
The target host isn’t receiving DHCP. “No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received”We should check the status of the DHCP service.
What is the output of this?
[CODE]sudo service isc-dhcp-server status[/CODE]After that, try restarting the service:
[CODE]sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart[/CODE] -
DOING THE RESTART COMMAND WORKED!!! Your the greatest!!
