+9I'm sure this is something simple that I'm missing but I finally got a our Netboot server working. I can boot into the os and everything looks like it works except it's using the local host for DNS. I try changing it through Network Preferences to use our DNS servers but it doesn't seem to work.
If I do an nslookup server it reports Default server 127.0.0.1
If I change the server to one of our DNS servers under nslookup I can get it to resolve. Any idea what I'm missing?
+5Can you please run these commands on the machine while it is netbooted and post the output:
netstat -nr | head -6
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ifconfig
+9NetBoot:~ root# netstat -nr | head -6

+5It seems really odd that you would have no /etc/resolv.conf
can you post the result of:
networksetup -getinfo Ethernet
+9I just added my server info to the hosts file for now. I will revisit again when I have more time. Thanks for your help so far.
