Strange Fog issue

[pbaddhan]

I have installed Fog 0.31 on a laptop using Ubuntu. I am having a strange problem with fog. If the fog server is connected to the network switch in the ICT Suite then I can only image PCs connected to that switch.

 

If the fog server is connected to the library network switch, then I can only image PCs that are connected to the library network switch.

 

If the fog server is connected to the ICT Suite network switch and I select quick host registration and inventory from the PXE boot from a library PC then the process freezes when loading the bzimage.

 

I don’t have any problems when using Symantec Ghost to pxe boot or imaging PCs on any part of the network.

 

Does anyone have any ideas?

 

I have attached a basic image of the current network switch setup if that helps.

I'd say the problem is probably not helped by the fact that the BGFL router seems to be the core of your network. I'd seriously suggest connecting the rest of your switches to a main one and have the router tagged on to that. Especially if the router has only 100mb ports. First port of call would be to try that, to eliminate any interference from the router.

Thanks Chris! I did what you suggested and fog is working anywhere on the network now.

I have just started having problems with freeze ups during Quick Host Registration with Fog 0.31 - was there anything else you changed to get past this problem?
