| 09:50.03 | ForgeAus | hey all :)... uh I was just interested in messing with PXE |
| 09:50.08 | Nirkus | sanju: on most distros, it will be enough to install 'atftpd' and configure /etc/default/atftpd to point to your TFTP directory |
| 09:50.33 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: dont let us stop you :) |
| 09:50.35 | ForgeAus | does tftpd have to give DHCP or can I give my router that job? |
| 09:51.11 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: if your router can set DHCP options 'next-server' and 'filename' your router can act as DHCP |
| 09:51.17 | ForgeAus | (note: I'm using WindowsXP btw ... and got a WinPE2 boot stuff from AIK but not sure how to get set up folders, etc...) |
| 09:51.50 | ForgeAus | Nirkus, uh, ohh kay, so how do I set an IP in the same subnet that doesn't clash with routers DHCP leases? |
| 09:52.03 | Nirkus | http://pxe.dev.aboveaverageurl.com/index.php/PXE_Booting |
| 09:52.18 | ForgeAus | I saw that in the title |
| 09:52.28 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: limit your routers leases to some subrange of your subnet |
| 09:52.39 | ForgeAus | ahh IC |
| 09:53.02 | ForgeAus | set 2-100 or so for router, and 100-150 or so for PXE? |
| 09:53.48 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: eg if you use 192.168.1.0/24, limit your router to 192.168.1.0/26 (192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.62) |
| 09:55.20 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: you can use whatever ranges you want within your routers subnet, but if youd like to use those ranges in some firewalling or routing or whatever ip configurtion later on, you should stick to those CIDR ranges, which can be noted as subnets |
| 09:55.51 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: ipcalc is a great tool to identify those ranges w/o error in calculation |
| 09:57.12 | ForgeAus | Nirkus I knew that webpage wouldn't help its all linux-based |
| 09:58.15 | ForgeAus | pxelinux, no WinPE... I tried it with a notebook seemed to connect/find the PC but it didn't download any files... |
| 09:58.59 | ForgeAus | I think I just need to sort out the filestructure and stuff... |
| 09:59.28 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: :) |
| 09:59.49 | ForgeAus | of course with pxelinux I take it that loads grub |
| 09:59.55 | ForgeAus | I could always chainload winPE from there rofl |
| 10:00.06 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: if you use some flavor of Microsoft RIS, PXE only plays an initial part on that one |
| 10:00.38 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: usually, pxelinux loads the linux kernel & ramdisk directly |
| 10:01.13 | ForgeAus | RIS? uh I'm only using XP not a MS server OS |
| 10:01.16 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: grub2 has support to be used as a PXE bootloader directly, but the last guy trying it in here, didnt get it to work smoothly |
| 10:01.38 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: k, most people confuse 'doing PXE' with using RIS |
| 10:01.39 | Nirkus | :) |
| 10:02.09 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: i dont know, how to configure a TFTP server on windows, but youre not the first to do that in here |
| 10:03.35 | ForgeAus | tftp32d is a simple tftp server |
| 10:03.58 | ForgeAus | its not that I cant find it from the client... |
| 10:03.58 | ForgeAus | its that it don't download any filez... |
| 10:04.20 | ForgeAus | so I think I just need to have it organized right so it gets the data to boot |
| 10:04.34 | ForgeAus | oops tftpd32 sorry |
| 10:05.13 | ForgeAus | http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32_download.html |
| 10:05.52 | ForgeAus | (click description if you want more info if you visit that site) |
| 10:06.22 | ForgeAus | the client shows up in the list on the deamon window... |
| 10:06.30 | ForgeAus | but no file transfer |
| 10:07.46 | ForgeAus | I don't need to get this working I'm more doing it just for the fun of it and the experience... to learn, you know? |
| 10:11.44 | ForgeAus | ahh yeah it is files and folder structure... I know the problem I just don't know whats meant to be there to fix it |
| 10:11.48 | ForgeAus | ok thx... |
| 10:11.49 | ForgeAus | cya |

| 10:54.42 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: what do you use, to bootstrep WinPE? |
| 10:56.41 | Nirkus | ForgeAus: AFAIK WinPE cant just be downloaded by the PXE ROM of your NIC, you need to have a PXE bootloader retrieve WinPE (and ramdisk?) and bootstrap it for you |

| 17:18.50 | namreeb | (or to get pxelinux booting off of wds) |
