Netboot: ipxe.archlinux.org unreachable, but IP has been assigned

Hi all,

I tried to use the netboot image from https://archlinux.org/releng/netboot/ and I managed to put it on a USB Stick and boot from it. (UEFI)
But when it tries to connect to https://ipxe.archlinux.org/releng/netbo … linux.ipxe , it says "Network unreachable (http://ipxe.org/280a6090)".

$ping -c 1 archlinux.org
Connection timed out ( https://ipxe.org/err/4c1b20 )
$ping -c 1 95.217.163.246
64 bytes from 95.217.163.246: seq=1

=> dns problem?

$set dns 1.1.1.1
$ping -c 1 archlinux.org
Connection timed out  ( https://ipxe.org/err/4c1b20 )
$set dns 8.8.8.8
$ping -c 1 archlinux.org
Connection timed out  ( https://ipxe.org/err/4c1b20 )

=> still dns problem with 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8.
How could I diagnose what my problem in netboot is?
Unfortunately, https://ipxe.org/err/4c1b20 is not quite helpful for me.
Thanks for the help!

Hi! Exactly the same problem with ipxe-arch.lkrn! Please tell me the solution or where to look? Do not offer UEFI.
ip, gateway and dns correct. Did it according to the instructions https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Netboot (1.1 Using ipxe.lkrn with syslinux)

I never solved it. I tried again just now and I still have the same issue.
It might have something to do with IPV6.

works:

ping -c 1 ipv4.jamieweb.net 

does not work and hints to ipxe.org/4c1b2092

ping -c 1 ipv6.jamieweb.net 

I have in mind, it worked at some point without changing anything.

PS: If anyone knows how to kill a running command on ipxe, please tell me. ctrl + c does not work. A ping command without -c just never stops

I think so too, but I couldn’t disable ipv6..

Maybe you want to have a look at https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/releases
At least, this uses a newer version of ipxe, but I still had some network issues.

edit:
there is already an issue about this: https://github.com/netbootxyz/netboot.xyz/issues/1157
