hello erm yes
I’ve recreated the fog server at home using VMware and from what I can tell it’s working perfectly here
could it be due to it having 4 ethernet ports

nope it didn’t work

I’ve set up fog and It was working pretty well but for some reason when I restart the server the PXE side of fog doesn’t always seem to work:/
the host computers often can’t seem to detect it at all when I restart the server
now I am very new to servers so I tried restarting the SSH and the DHCP services and that allowed the host computers to detect the DHCP but couldn’t load the TFTP image

my server has two Ethernet controllers
a nic card built in to the server and a extra PCI Ethernet card
the Nic card is what I’m using for the fog service the other is just so I can use the internet for research and stuff

under the network manager I’ve set eth0 (fogs connection) as
Manual
IP address 192.168.1.1
Netmask 255.255.255.0
Gateway 192.168.1.1
DNS server 192.168.1.1
and search domains as Fog

btw I have also set up a new storage node
but I don’t think that is causing the problem as both servers are working very well together

also both servers are oldish rack servers
HP Proliant g4p (can’t remember the exact name as I’m at home atm)

both have 10GBs of ram and 2 dual core Xeon CPUs with 3.4GHz of speed

also if anyone can tell me how to get fog to log opticle Drives and Hard Drive capacity it would be much appreciated
also are there any tools for configuring the PXELinux menu as I’ve been doing that manually and I want to add some custom tools to the menu

thanks in advance
