Part 7: Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can a CcBoot image link work across different subnets? A: Yes, but you must configure DHCP Option 66 (Boot Server Hostname) and Option 67 (Bootfile Name, typically pxeboot.n12) to point to your CcBoot server's IP. The image link itself is server-relative.

Q: Why does my client show "Cannot link to image" after a server update? A: CcBoot stores image links using absolute paths (e.g., D:\Images\win10.img). If you changed your server's drive letters, the link breaks. Go to Image Management > Repair Path. ccboot image link
