[MacTUG] Netinstall image not appearing on one mac (but everywhere else)

BTW the boneheaded answer to my issue was a firewall that I was 110% sure I had disabled ;-)

Subject: [MacTUG] Netinstall image not appearing on one mac (but everywhere else)

This is a particularly frustrating problem as the ONE mac on the subnet that cannot see the netinstall image is the Mac that I need to run Apple Remote Desktop on! This means that I can’t automatically tell my fleet of macs to restart using the netinstall disk (as I need to be able to see it to issue this command).

Here are the frustrating details

  1.  The mac in question is on the subnet and can see other netinstall images on the subnet on different servers
  2.  The clients on the same subnet can see the netinstall image (e.g. They can see it in the Starup Disk System Preference and can successfully reboot from it
  3.  When I boot my mac in recovery mode I can see the netinstall image. (Or when I boot from another boot partition on this mac).

I have tried to remedy it by reinstalling the OS but that did not help. As I said I do have another partition on this mac that I could put ARD on and merely use it to “Set Startup Disk” when I rebuild the labs but this is a seriously lame option. At some point I may do a fresh rebuild of this Mac with Yosemite, but I don’t want to do this for a while ;-)

Any solutions out there??
