Been running into a lot of issues getting fog up and working, im getting ever closer and keep running into issues.

I can get an IP address from the DHCP Server which is a win2k8 box. Option 66&67 are set correctly but im getting a TFTP Open timeout error.

Ive searched the forums and tried a few solutions from there but no joy.

I tried doing a reset on TFTP on the fog server box running

sudo stop tftpd-hpa
sudo start tftpd-hpa

but I get the following error - Unknown Job TFTP-hpa

does this mean TFTP isnt installed?

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?

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

Ive followed everything I can find on Virtualbox and fogforums and the user guide

Thought so,

Ive been using those and im still getting the same errors.

These are the only options I get, I have the extension pack installed

Ok I tried another solution where by some people have been having issues PXE booting with windows so I made both a Mac and a Linux VM and set them to boot to their network cards.

The linux VM gave me the error FATAL: No Bootable medium found! System Halted

I have remote access enabled to these servers if anyone would be up for remote in and taking a look?

Actually, Now you say that. I let the WIN7 box boot using the PC-NET adaptor. Once windows logs in the network connection is down. Says the driver failed to install. Did a google around to find one and can’t for the life of me find one to get it working. Even Virtual box forums are just saying to use the Intel Adaptor but we all know that has issues with PXE booting.

If I use the intel adaptor the network status is fine. So looks like I potentially need to get this adaptor working on the PC-net, but can’t find a driver.
