Fog no such device or address

[cajos001]

This is the version information:
Tue Feb 28, 2017 17:56 pm
Running Version 1.3.4
SVN Revision: 6066
The FOG server is running CentOS Linux 6.8

I get “no such device or address” in a red dot to the left of the host name when listing hosts in the GUI. This was not the case yesterday. I have followed some of the suggestions from other threads.

This is the contents of /etc/resolv.conf on the FOG server

; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script
search localdomain
nameserver 192.168.0.1

This is the result of nslookup 192.168.0.1 from the FOG server

Server:		192.168.0.1
Address:	192.168.0.1#53

1.0.168.192.in-addr.arpa	name = ipcop2.localdomain.

This the result of pinging the router by name from the FOG server

PING ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1): icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.193 ms

64 bytes from ipcop2.localdomain (192.168.0.1): icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.110 ms

and by ip-address

PING 192.168.0.1 (192.168.0.1) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.184 ms

64 bytes from 192.168.0.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.134 ms

I can ping both the router (192.168.0.1) and the fog server (192.168.0.3) from the Windows client. On the Windows client nslookup shows

Standard server  ipcop2.localdomain
Address 192.168.0.1

Like I said, this was working before I rebooted the FOG server.

I reinstalled FOG from SVN, erased all the hosts and recreated a few but the red dot and the error message “no such device or address” persists.

Help me please.

Is your fog server’s IP assigned by DHCP?

What is the issue is the fog server can not find the IP address of your windows clients.

It appears that your fog server can ping the router by name, but it can’t ping the windows devices by name?

Is the FOG client installed on your target computers?

[cajos001]

@george1421 Sorry for the late reply.

Yes our FOG servers IP is assigned by DHCP.

The Windows client can ping the FOG server but does not respond to ping from the FOG server.

Here’s a partial fog.log from the Windows client.

@cajos001 said in Fog no such device or address:

@george1421 Sorry for the late reply.

Yes our FOG servers IP is assigned by DHCP.

The Windows client can ping the FOG server but does not respond to ping from the FOG server.

I guess point 1, your FOG server needs a consistent IP address. You can do this through dhcp reservations or by assigning a static IP address to your fog server. If your fog server changes IP address (because of dhcp) after FOG is installed, FOG will break.

And just for clarity, you can ping your windows clients by IP address but not by workstation name from the fog server, correct?

[cajos001]

@george1421

I’ve changed the network setting to static and restarted the server.

I cannot ping the Windows clients by name or IP address from the FOG server.

[george1421]

@cajos001 ok, can you ensure (or temporarily disable) the windows firewall on a test system. We need to ensure that the firewall isn’t blocking the pings from a unix based computer.

Also when you set the static IP on the FOG server it must remain the same address as when FOG was installed.

[cajos001]

@george1421 I’ll do that and post the result.

[cajos001]

@cajos001 I disabled the Windows firewall and can ping the Windows client by IP address from the FOG server.

However the log file now shows “Response Invalid security token”

@cajos001 OK from the communications side it looks like the windows firewall is blocking ping attempts. You will need to allow this communication for each workstation. (ICMP ping, reply).

As for the security token, that is out of my realm so I’m guessing here. There should be a “reset security information” option for that host (I can’t seem to find it). What its saying is the certificate finger printed on the client doesn’t match the FOG server. This happens if you reimage your FOG server (wipe and replace) and a new certificate is created.

@Developers A little guidance would be appreciated.

[Junkhacker]

@george1421 it sounds like you’ve got it right to me

[cajos001]

@george1421 It worked!
I clicked on the host name in the list and in that page reset the encryption data. Now that host has joined the domain and got the right printer.

I will now do these steps on our master image.

Thank you for your kind and patient help.
