Hi,
Its kind of embarrasing, and I have been racking my brains over for two days now ! But I can't seem to connect a Thin client ( PXE ) to boot from an edubuntu server !
I got the dhcp and tfpt workign on the server !
I see the dhcp giving the IP but the Client says
PXE-T01 : file not found
PXE-E3B: TFTP Error - File not found !
I guess you figured it out that i am a newbie to linux !
I have supposedly used all kind of ways to put the pxelinux.0 in all sorts of places !
i think I have an error with my dhcp.conf !
This Edubuntu was supposed to work out of the box !
And the help available is just not doing the trick !
I mean just imagine i have still not been able to connect a single client !
I am using AMDs !
The dhcp.conf is as follows:
INTERFACES=eth1
authoritative;
subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.0.20 192.168.0.30;
option domain-name-servers 192.168.0.1;
option broadcast-address 192.168.0.255;
option routers 192.168.0.1;
option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
if substring( option vendor-class-identifier, 0, 9 ) = "PXEClient" {
filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";
}
else{
filename "/ltsp/amd64/pxelinux.0";
}
option root-path "192.168.0.27:/opt/ltsp/amd64";
}
I have a LinkSys Wireless Gateway 54G whose IP is 192.168.0.1
and the edubuntu server's IP is 192.168.0.27
Very frustrating !
