    @Joe-Gill Honestly this is usually the case with the “love / hate” relationship that so many people on the internet have with FOG. I’m not saying you’re not good at this, you are and are a valued community member. But people will often simply do something wrong and blame fog, or they just don’t understand how things function and when it doesn’t work, they blame fog. I have the feeling that these people have these sorts of issues with non-fog things too.

    I do my best to keep the wiki updated, and clear. It’s kind of this huge monster with all these old pages that I have no idea what to do with besides to just make notes about them being old or what version they apply to. On one hand, I’d like to just wipe the slate clean, but on the other hand the older pages have value and do help in some capacity sometimes.

    But, the more people we have here on the forums that will help, the better. The more people that are willing to write good documentation, the better. The more people willing to make video tutorials, the better. We just need more willing people - to really push out tutorials and documentation and help. Because simple things like what you found you did today - that ruins some people’s attitudes towards fog, and that’s a shame. And if everyone that had issues asked here, we may not have enough time to answer them all. This summer was especially difficult on the forums, with upwards of 70 new posts daily. The forums is getting very close to one-million views a month… And that’s simply because FOG is growing in popularity because it’s a superior project and open-source. It’s time it also grew in community volunteers as well.

    It’s not required, it’s optional.

    You will find the printer helper program that Joe made quite useful.
    Basically, manually install the printer, then fire up the helper program, it will give you the values to use in the FOG web UI.

    If you have issues getting the printer to deploy, you can plug these values into the helper’s Add Printer section and if somethings wrong it’ll give you an error about it. Download the latest version of it from here:
    https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/releases

    I want to make a video all about it, but I don’t have a network printer at home. 😞
    Anyone want to donate an old network printer?

    @Sebastian-Roth said in USB NIC PXE Boot?:

    The PC/notebook/tablet/whatever device you are trying to PXE boot with this USB NIC needs to have specific drivers for this USB NIC chip in the BIOS!!

    I suppose now we must record the device that the adapter worked on, too. I didn’t think of this but it makes sense.

    I suppose this is dependent upon how your clients, vs your server, communicate to the internet.

    There could be the issue I created, though I’m starting to think your fogserver is not necessarily supposed to be going through the proxy itself?

    I know this thread is quite old, but I wanted to include another possible cause because Google searches seem to bring you back to this thread.

    I was experiencing the same issue with my Windows 7 Fog clients, and resetting the encryption data did nothing. It turned out to be the time was quite off on the client, so it was never able to authenticate with the Fog server. Once the time was corrected, the client connected and everything worked fine (hostname, join, etc.).

    Just in case someone else runs into this issue, hopefully this can save you some time.

    Well… This is embarrassing.

    Good news I fixed it, i get into the PXE menu now! 😄

    I do have a different question now, when I click boot from hard disk in the pxe menu it doesn’t load the operating system, any ideas for that?

    For the issue relating to TFTP this is what happened:

    I set up a packet scan on both the DHCP and PXE server and after analyzing the packets i noticed there were two different packets sending a different option 66 and option 67. One was right pointing to the FOG server and Undionly.kpxe the other however pointed to the DHCP server. Apparently an old image deployment software was still working even though the options weren’t configure anymore. I removed these and everything worked great!

    @t1pt0p the problem is that stp IS enabled. You need to enable a fast stp protocol. The quick test is to put an unmanaged switch between your building switch and the target computer.

    If you have stp turned on, then look for port fast, fast stp, or rstp and turn it on on the target computer port.

    Q

    @EAHarvey You might want to check your /images folder contents, though.

    The way image capture works is they get placed in /images/dev first and then at the end they get moved to /images and renamed to the proper destination name.

    This moving process uses FTP, failure to move them indicates some sort of issue with that, most likely credentials, but if you’ve recently run the (trunk) FOG installer, this should already be corrected in the mean time.

    @george1421 said in Chainloading Failed - Fog Menu - Boot HD:

    OK we need a bit more info, and a possible recommendation that you update to the 1.3.0 RC series before we do too much debugging.

    What is version 13, is that fog 1.3.0 (something)? Since the svn versions became disconnected from the git version I can’t tell if that is current or not.

    More to the point of your question, is this a uefi or bios (legacy) based target computer? Also please include the mfg and model number of the target computer.

    My mistake, it is 1.3.0 RC and the host is a Dell 790 BIOS based.
