Multicast issues "Please Wait"
-
So i haven been working to get multicast working on our FOG server.
The network is configured correctly as I have a basic VM loaded with FOG and it is able to multicast fine.
Fresh install of FOG on Ubuntu 10.04 on our physical host, ubuntu updated.
Physical host is a dell 2950 server with Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme II BCM5708 Gigabit E thernet (rev 12)
All passwords are defaulted for testing purposes.

I’m not sure what the “failed to use database” means, or if it means anything.
The fact I can send a mutlicast with a VM but not a physical box doesn’t make a lot of sense to me. same network, same switches, same clients.
Unicast works great and always has.
Any help is appreciate.

Issue solved.
It was a driver issue. The standard ubuntu driver was not working the way it should.
The driver is located here:
[url]http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtremeii.php[/url]For the Broadcom card listed above you want the bnx2 and it is a simple make install to get it working. Hope this helps someone else.
Put me on the right track for checking the driver.
