    Hi folks!
    OK! I have installed Clonezilla Server Edition on Debian 7.2.
    I have followed a good how to video and other info from clonezilla...
    I have two network cards eth0 is my outside network and eth1 is my private for Clonezilla I have set clonezilla to allow 25 clients.
    My client computer is receiving an IP 192.168.1.2 from the clonezilla dhcp on my server.

    I have started Clonezilla and rebooted my client to run from network...
    Everything just hangs there..."tftp timeout"
    The strange thing is the client ip is 192.168.1.5 and not the 192.168.1. as in windows?

    I have looked at the logs for /var/log/messages, /var/log/daemon.log, and /var/log/syslog and they show the dhcp Connection 192.168.1.2 but I don't know what to add to /etc/hosts.deny or /etc/hosts.allow

    Can someone give me some pointers here please!

    Hi again!
    OK! I removed drbl and did a reinstall - but first made a change in my network interfaces.
    I have two network cards as stated and the eth0 I had as static. The static address came from my router which has wrt firmware and allows for dhcp static addresses.

    I then had a static IP for my CloneZilla network with the end IP as shown in info as being 192.168.1.254

    The problem was probably the server receiving two dhcp's and getting its nickers in a twist...lol

    I now have left my eth0 as set to auto and I am outside of my router now to save conflicting information...

    So my network looks like this now:

    This file describes the network interfaces available on your system

    and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

    The loopback network interface

    auto lo
    iface lo inet loopback

    eth1

    auto eth1
    iface eth1 inet static
    address 192.168.1.254
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    gateway 192.168.1.254

    Now when I boot my client it goes straight to pxe CloneZilla....;)
