Thanks guys - sorry missed info - ubuntu 14.04.01 and fog trunk 2815.
Desktop set up and working fine installed using one of the guides available. followed defaults (static IP 192.168.1.99) and just said no to DCHP as DDWRT to take care of that. So when I have a client machine at home I can boot off the lan, quick image, jobs a good 'un.
So I thought that when I am out and about doing visit’s, be a shame to leave all that imaging work and capability at home, so copied the machine (VM) to vbox install on my laptop. That way can still image using fog via ethernet to ethernet.
Of course for that I need to have the FOG DHCP working so re ran the installer and set up defaults static IP same as in eth0 etc BUT enabled DHCP so machines hanging off the back of the laptop will get IP and work etc. Thats the reason for that
So have tried this command to stop DHCP, yes, because different linux flavour the command was different. This one actually Stops the service (or says it has) where as others leave it in waiting status.
[I]sudo /etc/init.d/isc-dhcp-server stop [/I]
Then I created a new connection that uses DHCP instead of the static entry fog requires and made sure the connection was “bridged” between VBOX & my laptop ethernet while connected and also the wireless. I thought that should do the job but no cigar. Have released and renewed. Fiddled around tried NAT etc. I thought disabling DHCP would give me internet then enabling give me back fog.
The ip adress in the connection is concurrent (192.168.1.94) with the router giving the IP and not FOG (10.0.2.2 etc) Thanks
