    • RE: Fog 1.1.1 with ProxyDHCP: /default.ipxe... Connection timed out

      Matthew,

      thank you for this idea. I already switched to a more reliable solution. I might try Fog in the future again with firewall turned off.

    • Fog 1.1.1 with ProxyDHCP: /default.ipxe... Connection timed out

      Hi,

      I am trying to set up a working fog server with ProxyDHCP. I use this howto:[URL=‘http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_ProxyDHCP’][COLOR=#555555]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_ProxyDHCP[/COLOR][/URL]
      and /opt/fog_1.1.1/installation.txt.

      If boot a client pc by network I end with this mesage:
      [INDENT][I]/default.ipxe… Connection timed out ([url]http://ipxe.org/4c126035[/url])[/I][/INDENT]

      Here are some technical details:

    • RE: Can't reach domain names after starting dnsmasq

      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30393, member: 7271”]Based on this is 192.168.1.1 the appropriate DNS Server for your setup?[/quote]

      Yes

      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30393, member: 7271”]
      Is this DNS Server a forwarder or just the DNS Masked from your router?[/quote]

      I think it is just the DNS Masked from my router.

      [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 30393, member: 7271”]
      Typically 192.168.1.1 is the Gateway address for home routers. This same gateway also translates to your ISP’s DNS Servers, or the DNS Server’s you’ve put in place to override your ISP’s DNS server. Why is this important to know? Most typically, the “Masking” of the DNS to your router’s gate is done via DNSMasq, the same protocol you’re trying to use to PXE boot your servers.

      With that said, you could try commenting out the:
      [code]port=0[/code]

      You do this by making it:
      [code]#port=0[/code]

      Then restart the dnsmasq service.
      [/quote]

      This solved the problem.

      Thank you very much!

    • RE: ClientUpdater

      Is it a bug of fog server or clientupdate? I ask because I am preparing a new image I want to deploy in some days and need to know if I can use current clientupdate.

    • RE: Can't reach domain names after starting dnsmasq

      [quote=“TheWizardUk, post: 30345, member: 22823”]are you using dnsmasq for a DNS server or just to pick up your fog server on PXE boot without needing to mod you DHCP server?[/quote]

      I just need dnsmasq because it wouldn’t be possible to mod the DHCP server.

      [quote=“TheWizardUk, post: 30345, member: 22823”]
      is that all of your ltsp.conf?
      [/quote]

      Yes.

      [quote=“TheWizardUk, post: 30345, member: 22823”]
      when PXE booting does it redirect to your fog server?[/quote]
      Yes.

    • Can't reach domain names after starting dnsmasq

      Hi,

      I am trying to set up a working fog server with ProxyDHCP. I use this howto: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_ProxyDHCP[/url]

      My problem is, that I can’t reach any domain names after
      [QUOTE]sudo service dnsmasq restart[/QUOTE]

      I can still reach sites by their ip addresses. For example “ping 193.99.144.80” is working but “ping heise.de” is not.

      I guess I made a simple error since I am not very experienced with linux.

      I am really unsure which settings I should make in this file. According to [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Setting_up_ProxyDHCP#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE[/url] fog >=0.33 needs different settings than earlier versions.

      Could anybody help please?
