Setting up fog on small network

[chumchum08]

Hello all, i am new to FOG. i was hopping i could get some help with this.

i probably should have searched more for information about this before creating a new thread and i am sorry. but i am short on time and could really use the help.

so i have installed FOG 1.1.2 on ubuntu 14.04

i am looking to just set it up to image multiple PC’s over a switch. no DHCP or DNS server. i found the tutorial on how to install FOG on a small network. and i have done that. however when i am trying to PXE boot with the PC, it does not pull from the FOG server as it should.
what am i doing wrong here? i want to be able to upload an image from a pc to the server, and then do multiple images down to PC’s.

thank you all for any help that can be provided.

ok so looking more into this on the site, I am still not finding the answer I am looking for.

I am trying to set up the fog server as the DHCP server. which throug the instructions I did. however the computer times out during PXE boot when looking for DHCP.

what setting do I have incorrect? or am I missing?

thank you for any help

As i did this only once and one month ago and all worked fine,
maybe i’ll say ask or say things but i hope this would at least helpa bit to find what is not working.

Are you sure that you don’t have an other DHCP on your network ?
How your PC’s IP are configured then ? Are they all done manually ? Do you get IP from FOG DHCP under OS ?
Is your FOG IP configuration is set as static ?

If this can help, here are my conf even if FOG should have doe it itself during install :

/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf

[CODE]
use-host-decl-names on;
ddns-update-style interim;
ignore client-updates;
next-server 192.168.10.5;

subnet 192.168.10.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
interface eth1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
range dynamic-bootp 192.168.10.10 192.168.10.254;
default-lease-time 21600;
max-lease-time 43200;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.10.5;
option routers 192.168.10.5;
filename “undionly.kpxe”;
}
[/CODE]
/etc/network/interfaces
[CODE]
auto eth1
iface eth1 inet static
address 192.168.10.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 192.168.10.0
broadcast 192.168.10.255
[/CODE]

thank you. so it looks like there was a duplicate DHCP running. we found it and stopped it. now it works. thank you.

also fixed the tftp ARP Time out that was occurring.

so far this is fixed. I just need to get the image to upload correctly.
