@Tom-Elliott What does that mean? It seems even though it says 0iB on the server it still works. I was able to capture an image and then redeploy it to the same machine. Looking forward to testing it using multiple machines now.

Yes, as far I remember I chose all default options when setting it up.

I don’t see any files/folders in the dev folder. I do see OptiPlex990 (name of the image I created) in the images folder.

Inside OptiPlex 990 there are 3 files. d1.mbr(0.5MB) d1p1.img (8.4MB) and d1p2.img(3GB)

No idea how to check that I didn’t change any read/write permissions anywhere either and I think I read I should be doing that somewhere. Again don’t know where or how

Finally got FOG working and able to capture an image (so I thought.) I’ve read some articles about this problem and I’m pretty sure I confirmed FTP is working (but I’m not sure.)

I read https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Troubleshoot_FTP but I’m still kind of lost as I think I did what it says there.

I’m seeing this on fog

O/S & Image type
default:Windows 7
Single Disk - Resizable

Image Size: ON CLIENT - 6.77GiB
Image Size: On SERVER - 0.00 iB

@Tom-Elliott Okay, I’ll look into all this. Just happy to be able to get PXE to work! Again, thanks.

@Tom-Elliott Will Ubuntu go into sleep mode like Windows does? I haven’t touched it in about an hour and it looks like it may have shutdown? Could be why it wasn’t working after the iP helper command…I restart the Ubuntu server, started TFTP and DHCP and I booted the PC and I finally have the FOG menu! WOOHOO Tom, Thank you so much for the help today. Literally so happy to get to this point, now just need to learn how to capture and deploy images! So the things I changed today were the netmask (don’t think this mattered), added an IP helper address and disabled spanning tree. Is the IP helper/spanning tree documented in tutorials anywhere? I don’t think the one I followed mentioned any of that. Anyways, thanks so F’ing much for the help!

That PXE-E32 error happened after i setup the IP-Helper (and before). I’m only a help desk tech, I very rarely deal with network switch configs so it might not be configured right. I set it for VLAN 1 and all switch ports are on VLAN 1. Is that okay? I will get a copy of the config in a few minutes…

@Tom-Elliott PXE-E32 error.

ip address helper should point to the DHCP server (in my case the same server where FOG is running)?

@mikepel said:

helper

I will in a minute. Setting the IP helper and will try

@Tom-Elliott …that was in my OP! I know on SCCM we had to do that which is why I asked.

Okay spanning-tree is disabled now…now I’m getting something different! TFTP timeout…
Here is the switch config…

@Tom-Elliott haha ugh. okay I just put all the console cable stuff away. I did find a USB to console cable so I can use my main PC now at least. I’ll disable it if it’s on by default.

It looked like it was a clean config, just to be sure I wiped it again. I don’t think its anything with the switch config…Maybe I should try to rebuild the FOG server from scratch again.

@Tom-Elliott Still working on getting into the config. Had to use an old XP laptop, only thing I could find with a serial port.

@Tom-Elliott Its a Catalyst 2950. It was donated from an Air Force Base…so I’d hope it has a wiped config. Know of any Linux programs to console into switches? Is there a putty for linux?

@Tom-Elliott I’ll try to get into the switch. I was told there isn’t a config on it, this might take some time to do.

@Tom-Elliott No FOG menu again. Same thing as before. I’m uploading a video of what happened to provide some more screenshots…it gets stuck at configuring net (net0: macaddress)… then reboots
