And for the first question ?
My problem is on the Hosts management page
all my host have a red circle with exclamation point and this error message :
“no such device or address”. What does that mean ?
I think it’s because fog cant ping my hosts because there is no dns on my network. Is there an other way to make it works?
I made some tests with wins (samba, winbind…) without success

If you had no dns service on your network, you’d probably have a really difficult time using the internet.

On a windows machine you can run from command prompt nslookup and it’ll tell you your default dns server right away.

And if you really don’t have a real DNS server on your network, I’d probably suggest making one.

@Wayne-Workman
Hmm sorry , we’ve got a dns to use internet, but all the station are not into this dns then i imagine that fog cant ping those stations

[Wayne Workman]

@plegrand Do you use static addressing?

[plegrand]

@Wayne-Workman
no we use our own dhcp server (dynamic)

But i saw on the net it was possible to use netbios name with wins for fog ping. But i cant make it works

@plegrand You can configure DHCP to update DNS as it gives out leases.

And if you saw fog stuff elsewhere - I can’t vouch for those other sources, they might be legit, might not be. They are highly likely to have been written for 1.2.0 or even earlier. The code base has gone through dramatic changes (for the better). Any instructions you find elsewhere might not even directly apply anymore. I’d recommend asking the @Developers for suggestions on how to do it.

It’s not our dns servers

OK
you mean if i add on this thread “@Developers”, they will see my post and may be answer ?
Anyway thanks a lot for your help and the time spended.
Fog is a very great application (not like my english !!)
As you can see it’s not very important question
Thanks again
I’ll make some tests for multicast (other thread), it’s more important for me

You don’t have to use them. You can make your own and direct all hosts to use yours.

I install dynamique DNS with bind and it works fine. Thanks again
