@Hunter-Bonner You have a http error access, could you try to access that url with a web browser ?
-
@ch3i what URL? I cannot even see it. And are you wanting me to try and access it from the client?

As I asked :

@Hunter-Bonner Could you try to connect the FOG server over TFTP, using WinSCP maybe
-
@ch3i yes was able to connect over ftp
-
-
@ch3i There is no option in that client for TFTP, just SFTP.
-
@ch3i There is no option for that in the drop down. I’m using what appears to be the latest version. There is FTP, SFTP, SCP and WebDAV.
-
@Hunter-Bonner Try with http://sourceforge.net/projects/tftputil/ or another tftp client.
-
Windows can connect via TFTP at the command prompt…
-
@Wayne-Workman I used the command prompt. I got a transfer successful message when I ran the following command. tftp x.x.x.x get undionly.kxpe
What’s next to try?
-
O.k. I have verified that my TFTP service is running and is configured correctly. I even reinstall. 1.2.0 FOG just a few moments ago and it confirmed that settings were set correctly. I can login to the management portal without issues. The only thing that it’s doing is the same thing as yesterday, and that is saying that something is unsupported, which I cannot even read it goes by so fast.
I’m stumped and frankly, I am about to the point of giving up on this project. I really don’t want o because the web interface and other things are nice.

@Wayne-Workman Hey I tried booting from another device and I finally got the error to pause. This is what it shows.

I went to that URL, but I am not really sure how to update this?

@ch3i Sorry I do not know what you mean. I’m a total n00b to FOG.
To boot your clients on PXE, you need :
- An IP >> it’s OK
- A DHCP option that specified the TFTP server (option 66) : the ip of the server >> NOK
- A DHCP option that specified the boot file (option 67) : pxelinux.0 >> NOK
I’m curious. Did you set option 67 to pxelinux.0 or undionly.kxpe?
-
@TaTa undionly.kxpe I’m using Windows Server for DHCP
-
sorry for my 2nd and 3rd questions.
and option 66 is your FOG server IP?
Have you temporarily tried to disable firewall or iptables? -
What is the model of this computer?
Do other computers/models work?
Have you looked at our Working Hardware / Problematic Devices lists?
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/WorkingDevices
https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/ProblematicDevicesAnd, if you quit on fog, that would be sad, but… this is a free and open source project with a limited volunteer development team and a limited volunteer moderator team… all of whom have 40HR+ work weeks elsewhere, and we try to help everyone here… And with an estimated 4,200ish FOG sites out there, sometimes things get crazy in the forums. We are doing our best to help you. The best way to get a problem resolved is to keep the conversation going, and provide lots of details, and be nice.
If you want to improve FOG’s support, then hang out on the forums in your free time and try to help others, and learn more about FOG, and maybe make some contributions to the WiKi, and then convince your friends to do the same.
