dhcp is coming from ipcop witch acts like a router.
but the thing is it all worked before i redid ipcop but i’m using the same ip. i may just end up redoing fog. i have over 400 images

so it goes cable modem - ipcop - switch - then everything else. fog is plugged into the switch.

ok im able to use the tftp command and is send and receives in about .2 sec.
how would i go about using wireshark to see where it gets stuck? thanks

well what is ipcop. had to redue it and ipcop runs to switch. im using same ip address as old ipcop.

no errors pop up. tried to boot pxe and then nothing. just times out. tried on different laptop same deal. dont know where the problem is.

replaced router but it has the same ip address.
i’m able to log into the fog web gui but i can’t pxe boot it just times out.
using ver .29 and ubuntu 10.10

i have tried looking every where on the web but no luck. can’t seem to find what the issue is

thanks for any info on this problem.

when i search or click list all images they don’t show the image number.
for example Compaq2200xpHome (8). i get Compaq2200xpHome instead.
i’m using .32 when i was using .29 it had the image number listed.
it makes thing easy in pxe.

i know it show the image number under host when selecting the host image.

hello astrouge,

i figured out what was causing the macbooks to shut down. it turned out to be the install-restore.dmg files was only 1.6gb and when i remade the install-restore.dmg it came out 1.8gb i doubled check to make sure that was the correct size for that file for netRestore 3.4.6

now the mac finds the fog server but it just sits there with the apple logo and a spining circle.
i’m sure it has something to do with files:
booter
mach.macosx
mach.macosx.mkext

the files above are different for each folder they go into below, even though there named the same.
Ppc
i386
netBootSP0

netRestore make the files for ppc and i386 but not for netBootSp0.
so thats where i’m stuck.
i stop trying few days ago and now im back to try again…if i cant get it to work, i’ll try deploystudio.
i’ll keep you updated on anything the comes up.

so i have setup a fog 0.32 with ubuntu 10.10 works great with PCs.
now i’m trying to setup apple to work with fog and netRestore 3.4.6. i followed the fog to apple wiki.

the problem im having is the apple macbook boots to network finds the fog server but then the apple macbook shuts off. i can hold down the option key and the ip for fog pop right up. i’ve gone over everthing. tried different macbook samething, macbook powers off when booting off network.

i don’t know if the macbook is getting some kind of shut down command…
