Hello. The desktops with the mentioned ethernet interface cannot be cloned using either multicast or broadcast. This is a network lab, where one row of older PCs connect using the same switch models and I can dump the image using multicast without any problem. One these, the clients connect to the session but keep waiting for it to start cloning. This is a MSI H81M-E34 board with version E7817IMS. Anyone else had a similar problem?
Thanks!
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
with version 2.2.2-1 I couldn't get IP address booting from this DRBL Live disk.
The problem was that I only use this newest 2.4.6-7 DRBL live CD in this lab, because I had no issues with network connections in the others. After many tests, I found that the problem is that the I was editing Multicast address in /etc/drbl/drbl-ocs because i was instructed to by the network guys. At the time they told not to use the default 224.0.0.1 address, so I almost automatically edit the configuration file before starting the live Clonezilla Server. Please note that I was doing this for about 4 years now. I left all settings with the default values and it worked!
Regards.

SOLVED
First, let me say I'm currently using version 2.4.6-7 because of this

with version 2.2.2-1 I couldn't get IP address booting from this DRBL Live disk.

Thanks for sharing that.

BTW, we update Clonezilla live more frequently than DRBL live. Therefore if you need newer kernel to support your hardware, you can give Clonezilla lite server a try:
https://clonezilla.org/show-live-doc-content.php?topic=clonezilla-live/doc/11_lite_server
It also provides BT mode so maybe you can also give it a try.

Thanks for the reply. Good to know that.
