      Yes it’s windows 7 SP1, Windows 32 bit.

      I appreciate your feedback.

      I have multiple computers all the same model, only this particular unit is giving me fits. I believe it is actually a failing controller.

      [quote=“gwhitfield, post: 36037, member: 344”]I know it’s an old thread but I’ve looked at others and didn’t get any closer to an accurate description of the problem we’re struggling with and now may have solved for ourselves.

      We have server (A) FOG 1.2 on Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 hosted by vCenter Server 5.5.0. 2CPU/4GB RAM/e1000 NIC/SCSI drive. With PIG_Z_COMP set at 3, upload speeds were no better that 500MB/min while download speeds were in the 3GB/min range. After much googles I find some references to VMWare driver issues solved by command line “(sudo) ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off” which worked. Upload went to 4.5GB/min on 1Gb connection, download went to 5.1GB/min without a restart of FOG server. There’s also an rx-checksumming edit suggested but we didn’t implement it to get to the speeds we’re at now. Maybe we can live without it.

      Funny, we have another server (B) FOG 1.2/Ubuntu 14.0.4.1 VM 2CPU/4GB RAM/e1000 NIC/SCSI drive on ESXi 5.1 that required no changes to achieve 4.3GB/min uploads on 1Gb connection.

      Now to get handle on how to make this change stick after a restart, something in /etc/network/interfaces but nothing worked yet, maybe a syntax thing idk. Also trying to get mysql service starting at the right time to avoid the Database Schema issue on restart. I know it’s in here somewhere, just haven’t found it yet. When I do I’ll try to update this.[/quote]

      I’ve add the ethtool -K eth0 tso off gso off command to the S99fog scripts so this should be on your systems as well. I don’t know if we should add this to the installer though, as the interface is subject to be changed.

      Maybe we can get a wiki entry explaining this?

      okay, so I found the section in MOD_HostNameChanger.cs in the folder /usr/src/fog_0.32/FOG Service/src/FOG_HostNameChanger

      I have added these two lines

      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon”, true);
      regKey.SetValue(“AltDefaultDomainName”, newname);
      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon”, true);
      regKey.SetValue(“DefaultDomainName”, newname);

      to the class
      [code]
      private void doDefaultMode( string newname)
      {
      RegistryKey regKey = null;
      log(MOD_NAME, “Using default fog method.”);
      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters”, true);
      regKey.SetValue(“NV Hostname”, newname);
      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ActiveComputerName”, true);
      regKey.SetValue(“ComputerName”, newname);
      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName”, true);
      regKey.SetValue(“ComputerName”, newname);
      regKey = Registry.LocalMachine.OpenSubKey(@“SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon”, true);
      [/code]

      being the registry values I am wanting to change are in [B]HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\DefaultDomainName[/B] and [B]HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\AltDefaultDomainName[/B]
      and I want to populate it with the same information being supplied in the rest of the registry keys.

      Do I need to compile this and push it, or is saving the configurations going to be good enough?

      I already built my image, do I need to update the fog client on my images and push it out again?

      Sorry not done anything like this before don’t want to break anything and I want it to work 😄

      Well i didn’t find a hub, I had a linksys wrt54g someplace that had ddwrt on it but I must have loaned it to someone because I can’t for the life of me find it. So I never will know what it was that is being stopped but I believe it’s similar to your situation that you described where a chunk of it is received but the rest is not.

      I have installed proxyDHCP and it seems to be happily working on 10.04 LTS.
      Now I can boot to my pxelinux.0!!!

      I appreciate all your help with this and your time, I’m going to be using it this summer and hopefully set up a few nodes in a few other buildings if all goes according to plan, so far it’s not been that bad of an experience just a typical Linux install lol.

      Let us know what you come up with for the PXE boot menu wont you? I’m intrigued and interested in doing similar things.

      You’re correct about the scope and topology, The problem I was running into, ultimately, is something within my network is preventing the pxelinux.0 from reaching it’s final destination. Part of the pxelinux.0 would be received but the rest kind of just floated in limbo.

      I have another topic where I went through troubleshooting steps and eventually, enabling a proxyDHCP service with dnsmasq resolved the issue.

      I appreciate your insight on this as well as your understanding of the network!
