I will check that. These are the entries in /etc/exports: /usr/local/share/fai 127.0.0.0/24(async,ro) /usr/lib/fai/nfsroot 127.0.0.0/24(async,ro,no_root_squash) > Do you have installed all recommended packages for FAI?

If not documented, which packages are needed ?

It looks odd to me too. The mac adress is displayed during booting of the node and I was also using tcpdump on the server. I migth live with this if I use the chaintech motherboard as server with a second nic for the local network. -- GMX DSL = Maximale Leistung zum minimalen Preis! 2000 MB nur 2,99, Flatrate ab 4,99 Euro/Monat: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/dsl -- Lust, ein paar Euro nebenbei zu verdienen?
