I can access the web interface of the NanoStations. I’ll work on getting a wireshark capture and post it here in a bit.

Thank you for your speedy response.

I should have included that information in my original post. No VLANs are involved. There is no router. They are on the same subnet. There is no firewall and the domain is the same. I don’t think it’s that kind of a problem.

Here is my setup:

Fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS Virtualbox VM on Windows Server 2008 physical machine. Windows 7 Enterprise images on Dell Optiplex 790s.

Here is my issue:

I’m trying to connect an existing building on one of our campuses. I’m using Ubiquiti NanoStation M5 Wireless Point to Point radios between the buildings. The nanostations work fine, except for fog. I can’t get to the fog menu to add the hosts. I have Cisco switches in the building. I enabled PortFast on the needed ports, and I can get an IP address. However, after getting an IP address, I get a 0x040ee119 error on configuration of the NIC. The issue seems to be with the NanoStations. I can image other machines throughout the district, but I tried another location where we have a NanoStation link and that location wasn’t successful, either.

Can fog work through these devices? I’m currently creating an additional storage node with multiple TFTP servers. I plan to run that server in the remote building while I’m imaging machines, but I’m not sure if that will work or not. I’d like to have it work without the additional TFTP server.

Any thoughts are appreciated in advance.

Ok. Thank you for your help, Uncle Frank. I fixed this issue. It wasn’t a FOG issue at all. I had changed out a switch on my network a few days ago and it was the issue. I’m not sure why it’s an issue. I changed an old 24-port Cisco switch with a new 8-port Cisco switch. I never thought the switch would be an issue so I hadn’t thought to change it back until this morning. It’s not a VLAN issue (both switches are flat). Anyway, thank you again for your help.

It looks like I put unmount instead of umount in these results. It did unmount fine after I used the right command.

It seems to be working, I think. Any other ideas?

Here is the result of the mount command (after I installed nfs-common on the client):

administrator@NagiosUbuntu:~$ sudo mkdir -p /mnt/nfstest && sudo mount -v 10.233.8.4:/images /mnt/nfstest
mount: no type was given - I’ll assume nfs because of the colon
mount.nfs: timeout set for Mon Mar 9 12:27:06 2015

sudo: unmount: command not found

Ok. Here is the result of the the netstat command:

administrator@FOGServer:~$ sudo netstat -antup | grep 111
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 451/rpcbind

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:111 0.0.0.0:* 451/rpcbind
udp6 0 0 :::111 :::* 451/rpcbind

Looks right, I think?

In continuing to search the web for more information on this, I keep running into things about a service named portmap. My fog server doesn’t have that service. Should it? I’m sure you can tell, but I’m certainly not a Linux/Ubuntu expert.

mkdir command executed fine. However, the mount command had this output:

[INDENT=1]administrator@NagiosUbuntu:~$ sudo mount -v 10.233.8.4:/images /mnt/nfstest[/INDENT]
[INDENT=1]mount: no type was given - I’ll assume nfs because of the colon[/INDENT]

[INDENT=1] dmesg | tail or so[/INDENT]
I checked the nfs-common package. It’s already installed. I installed the cifs-utils package. It installed fine. I restarted the server and got the same ouptut for this command.
Thanks, Frank, for your help. Any other ideas?

Thank you for your reply. I tried your suggestions about the nfs service to no avail. It was running and restarted fine, but no change. I also restarted the physical machine, but no luck there either. I can’t see anything setup wrong.

I’ve been using fog for several months now. It’s worked fine. I have fog 1.2.0 on Ubuntu 14.04, which is a VirtualBox VM running on Windows Server 2008. Nothing has changed on the physical server or in my fog setup (including storage location), but I did allow some updates a few days ago on the fog (Ubuntu) server. Now, when I try to upload or download an image, I get the error in the image. All of my images are Windows 7 Pro or Enterprise. I’ve tried several things from this forum, but nothing has been successful.

So far, I’ve tried:

touch .mntcheck
chmod -R 777
reinstalled fog over the top

Any help is appreciated in advance.
