      @Dalton-Childers Try the TFTP test locally on the FOG server itself. Try to use both the actual IP of the server and then try the local loopback address 127.0.0.1

      Using the IP address of the server (130.18.192.41):

      root@fog:~# tftp 130.18.192.41
      tftp> get undionly.kpxe
      tftp> get undionly.0
      Error code 1: File not found
      

      Due to a lack of experience with TFTP, I am assuming the lack of error for undionly.kpxe means it found the file. I tried undionly.0 because I know the file is not present under /tftpboot/.

      Using the IP address of the server (127.0.0.1):

      root@fog:~# tftp 127.0.0.1
      tftp> get undionly.kpxe
      tftp> get undionly.0
      Error code 1: File not found
      

      Same results as the server’s IP.

        @Dalton-Childers So the simple test, you attempt to get the undionly.kpxe file, then you try to get the undionly.0 file. Because the undionly.kpxe file exists, you’re not seeing an error, but because the undionly.0 doesn’t exist, you’re seeing the error on the second command. This sound correct.

        Now that you know that at the least the tftp server is operating locally. Now we need to see where it breaks down.

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        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)

          @Dalton-Childers @Tom-Elliott is right, and that was the direction I was heading with this…

          Can you give us the output of this command first - it’ll let us know what’s going on with the sym-link.

          ls -lahRt /tftpboot
          

          Then - We need lots and lots of details about your VM setup because I think that’s where the problem lies. What are you using? How is the network setup? Is it using NAT or is it bonded or NIC sharing or what?

          Can you install traceroute and then run a traceroute against Google’s DNS?

          sudo apt-get install traceroute
          traceroute 8.8.8.8
          

          and give us the output of that please? This will tell us if you are using NAT or not. It’d also help greatly if you’d tell us you Router Address - the address of the target host if you can find it on your router - and perhaps some screen shots of your network setup for the VM?

          Basically - the more details the better.

            Information about setup:

            I am running the Ubuntu 14.04 VM on my iMac using VMware Fusion 8 Pro. I have set a static IP which is “130.18.192.41” (including image of my network interface config). Our subnet is “255.255.254.0” and the overall range is 130.18.192.1 to 130.18.193.255. The architecture of the network isn’t completely known due to the nature of the main ITS group. Also, we have to be careful not to allow our PXE traffic to appear outside of our subnet. We have our own DNS in house, but the DHCP server is control by the main ITS group which is why I assumed I would need to use dnsmasq.

            I have included a picture for clarity, but the VM is bridged with the iMac’s ethernet port so it appears as an additional machine.

            The IP in the image “130.18.193.107” is the IP that is assigned to my iMac.

            I don’t have access to the routers so I am flying blind on that end.

            If there is anything extra that I should have added please let me know.

              @Dalton-Childers At first glance of the results of ls -lahRt /tftpboot it would seem that your sym-links are not created, and that you have used copies instead. undionly.0 does not exist. (just informational at this point)

              From your ifconfig output,
              What is 10.0.1.2 ?
              What is 192.168.2.1 ?

              And - try to create this symbolic link and then try to network boot again:
              ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kkpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0

              Here’s more info on symbolic links: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/unix-creating-symbolic-link-ln-command/

              Please do not get discouraged. For many, Linux is a new adventure and the ‘path’ might not be as clear as it might be to an experienced MAC OS or Windows user - but to the experienced Linux user - it’s the same process as any other system… troubleshoot, test, troubleshoot, test - narrow it down, test, troubleshoot, test, narrow it down further, coffee, test, restroom break, test… it’s the same thing. If you know - it’s easy, if you don’t know, you figure it out. If you’re inexperienced - then you either try to figure it out and in the process learn a massive ton of Linux or you simply walk away because you refuse to give the effort… 😕 As long as you keep the communication going here, we will continue to try to help. It’s the same as with anything - if there’s a will there’s a way. No will, no way.

                I have created the requested sym-links, but still had no lucky with the PXE boot process.

                10.0.1.2 is the IP address that my wireless card was assigned.
                192.168.2.1 is the IP address of the private network on the iMac or at least that was my understanding. I have never changed that setting as it comes by default with VMware Fusion.

                Has seen below I have created the sym-links:
                TFTP-Permissions-Take2.png

                I also bump the permission to 777. I was reading another FOG posting that suggested that has a possible fix.

                I edited the dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf file to related the sym-link change.

                ltsp config.png

                I also added in some more lines. I tested the tftp after creating the sym-link and then again after switch to undionly instead of undionly.kpxe.

                I tried to pull the files from the server TFTP on my computer (iMac), my coworkers (PC), and my bosses (Mac Pro). The results were as follows:

                Mine:

                tftp> get 130.18.192.41:undionly.kkpxe
                Received 103224 bytes in 0.0 seconds
                tftp> get 130.18.192.41:undionly.kpxe
                Received 103273 bytes in 0.0 seconds
                tftp> get 130.18.192.41:undionly.0
                Error code 256: File not found
                

                Coworker:

                tftp –i 130.18.192.41 get undionly.kpxe
                Timeout Occurred
                     Connection Request Failed
                
                tftp –i 130.18.192.41 get undionly.kkpxe
                Timeout Occurred
                     Connection Request Failed 
                

                Wit the Windows machine I also tried to specify a different download location “%HOMEPATH\Downloads\undionly.kpxe” and “%HOMEPATH\Downloads\undionly.kkpxe”. These result failed as well.

                Bosses:

                tftp> get 130.18.192.41:undionly.kkpxe
                Received 103224 bytes in 0.0 seconds
                tftp> get 130.18.192.41:undionly.kpxe
                Received 103273 bytes in 0.0 seconds
                

                I had him run the following line and his results were the same as mine.

                Fun fact, but could me just looking to much into the problem. I downloaded nmap to my iMac and checked port 69 on my FOG server. The result are below:

                  @Dalton-Childers After a session via TeamViewer with Dalton, I found that his virtualized FOG server was not receiving any traffic from anything besides the physical computer it was running on and possibly the internet.

                  I did a tcpdump and transfered the file via TFTP to the host computer - and examined it with WireShark. We used the reported MAC address from the FOG server as a filter and a single packet showed up. However without a filter all the traffic from the hosting computer shows up.

                  I think that this problem is related to the VM setup on the iMac, and I recommended that Dalton try to install FOG on a physical machine using all the same settings - and see what happens, or to use a physical machine and have his Network Team change the DHCP options 066 and 067 for him so that he doesn’t have to use dnsmasq.

                  Just awaiting for a reply at this point to see what path he goes down and how it goes.

                    I just wanted to let you guys know after a few more tries we were able to get FOG working inside our environment.

                        The credit can really go to my boss, but this is how it ended up working.

                        For the FOG setup on Ubuntu 1.2.0

                        Follow this guide: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server

                        • Skip the “Additonal Steps for 12.04.4, 12.04.5, 14.04, 14.10” section

                        The ltsp.conf should look like this:

                        port=0
                        log-dhcp
                        tftp-root=/tftpboot
                        dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,{server name},{static server ip}
                        dhcp-no-override
                        pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3
                        pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from network", undionly
                        dhcp-range={static server ip},proxy
                        

                        Make the following changes to the interface order:

                        eth*
                        lo.inet*
                        lo.dnsmasq
                        lo.pdnsd
                        lo.!(pdns|pdns-recursor)
                        lo
                        tun*
                        tap*
                        hso*
                        em+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
                        p+([0-9])p+([0-9])?(_+([0-9]))*
                        ath*
                        wlan*
                        ppp*
                        *
                        

                        Without these changes DNSMASQ would break DNS lookups.

                        Fix MySQL otherwise it’ll wig out on you.

                        • Edited /opt/fog/.fogsettings
                        snmysqluser="root"
                        snmysqlhost="localhost"
                        
                        • Set the database password
                        • Ran sudo dpkg-reconfigure mysql-server-5.5

                        Fog services weren’t starting automatically:

                        • Changed /etc/rc.local to look like this:
                        sleep 10
                        service FOGMulticastManager restart
                        service FOGScheduler restart
                        service FOGImageReplicator restart
                        exit 0
                        

                        For some reason this made it work finally.

                          Also, in the file “dnsmasq.conf” at the end of the file uncomment the conf-dir.

                          It should look like this:

                          # Include another lot of configuration options.
                          #conf-file=/etc/dnsmasq.more.conf
                          conf-dir=/etc/dnsmasq.d
