So the TFTP files transfer just fine?

I had the same problem, some peoples have problems with pxe boot in virtualbox 4.3

Can you install a older version of virtualbox? For example 4.2

Ok, seemed to have got it working…sort of.
Seems there must of been an issue with the network adaptors or the install on the machine I was running Virtualbox on. I tried to uninstall virtual box and do a reinstall but it would hang when removing the network adaptors. Finally managed to get it to uninstall. Tried another re install but again it would hang on installing the network adaptors and kill my network. So now I can’t install virtual box on the server I wanted it on.
I’ve now installed Virtualbox on my laptop and started again from scratch and the windows VM now boots to FOG
whoop!But I’m now getting the following error when I register the Host - see attached file.
The screen then changes and says its attempting to register the host but nothing happens further

personally i prefer vmware player , i think that the networking coding is more solid. but its up to you …

Thanks for the Comments Jenesis but im using virtual box as its free. VMware isnt.
Any one got any ideas on my new problem above?

This post is deleted! -
Actually VM player is free unless its changed lately.

Do you get anything after “Starting network…”???
The above ‘IP-Config’ warnings/errors derive from the linux kernel (see here: [url]http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/net/ipv4/ipconfig.c#L1469[/url]). To me that sounds like the kernel has trouble to talk to the network and therefore other things like linux dhclient won’t be able to get an address from the DHCP-server either. This is just guessing as I don’t have an insight into what is really going on in your setup.
Can you capture the traffic on that virtual network interface within your windows host using wireshark??
You can try booting any kind of linux live CD (e.g. ubuntu) in that virtualbox container to see if network is alright with that…

I am now having a issue with Intel E1000 NIC not working with FOG I am using VM Ware Player 6.0.5 build-2443746 with FOG 1.2.0 and Ubuntu 10.04.4 I am getting a PXE-E32: TFTP open timeout as anyone encountered this issue all the machines I have tried boot no problem just the VM is an issue.

What do I see on that picture?? The client (not a VM or is it fullscreen)?!? Or is the FOG server installed in a VM and this picture just shows one of your clients not being able to boot PXE from this server?Sorry but I don’t understand your description of the issue. Please clarify.Maybe this is of help for you: [url]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Tftp_timeout[/url]…

VM was at full screen Fog server is on its own machine just the client in the VM
-
Ok tested the TFTP get command on fog server works, Computer with VM installed on it works, VM machine fails with firewall turned off on VM machine definitely seems to dislike the NIC in the VM machine for some reason.
-
Also tested Clonezilla live CD and chose iPxe boot and this is the result sure seems like NIC isn’t liked I am gonna try another computer in case it doesn’t like the computer it is on for some reason.

Can you see TFTP request packets on the server using wireshark??
-
Can wireshark be ran in terminal mode I installed server mode of Ubuntu and the bare minimum software, so I have no gui interface.
-
Not wireshark but you can use tcpdump for that. For simple debugging use this:
[CODE]tcpdump -i eth0 -nn udp[/CODE]
‘udp’ is just a very simple filter so that you don’t see to much other traffic…
If you want to dig into the packet dump you’re better of writing the captured packets to a pcap file and load that on a different computer where you can use wireshark:
[CODE]tcpdump -i eth0 -w tftp-debug.pcap[/CODE]
Change ‘eth0’ to whatever interface on the FOG you use… -
Ok using tcpdump I get a lot of traffic but caught the ip I was looking for:
IP 10.2.8.60.2075 > 10.2.8.5.69: 35 RRQ “unidonly.kpxe” octet blksize 1456
IP 10.2.8.5.52343 > 10.2.8.60.2075: UDP, length 15That is the only communication I see which is possible I missed more as there was a lot of code to watch. When I tried to do this command:
tcpdump -i eth0 -w tftp-debug.pcap
I get Permission denied -
Looks promising. Seams like the client sends a request to get undionly.kpxe from the TFTP server and the server also responds (second packet). To see this clearly you should get a full packet dump. Maybe try this:
[CODE]tcpdump -i eth0 -w /tmp/tftp-debug.pcap[/CODE]
You won’t see any packets on the console then. Run the command, start your client and stop tcpdump with Ctrl-C after your client got the timeout. ZIP and upload that pcap file and I’ll have a look and see what I can see… -
made the file but I am unable to FTP into the server the password it says to use at FOG_TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD in ver 1.2 its only 6 characters long and it doesn’t work I am using filezilla which has always worked in the past am I using the wrong password? I mean I remember the other one being about 20 chars long. Forgot to mention shows making a connection just says password is incorrect.
-
So I just tried to run ftp on the fog server itself and it say password is wrong as well, the only password that was changed was the default password for the fog web login which was never connected to the ftp before but it doesn’t work either I am not sure what is going on but I can’t believe that the ftp password is only 6 chars long.
