i did rum the compatibility checker all was good. the only thing i noticed is i did not have an ip address. -
@snaggel I would say that:
- If your FOG server is at ip address 10.10.60.17 AND…
- The fog server is pingable from the subnet where the PXE booting computer is located AND…
- You only have one network adapter in this computer…
My intuition is telling me that you have a spanning tree issue. This is where you have spanning tree enabled on your building switch but you are not using one of the fast spanning tree protoocls like (fast-STP, RSTP, MSTP, or what ever your switch mfg calls it).
As a quick check for spanning tree, place an unmanaged (dumb switch) between the pxe booting computer and the building switch and see if booting works normally.

@george1421 Sorry for the delay. I did try a dumb switch and it worked. now figuring out what or which protocol/configuration is messing it up. thanks.
-
@snaggel OK if the dumb switch masked your issue, then you need to contact your networking group to have them check to see if spanning-tree is enabled on the building switch, and then to adjust spanning tree settings to ensure that one of the fast spanning-tree protocols are enabled.

@george1421 Will do i will let you know what i find out. thanks again

@snaggel So we figured out the port on our switch was a trunk port. we cleared the configuration on the port. we also enabled portfast on it. we tested and it registers the host and loaded images. just wanted to let everyone know. thanks again. now on to getting it activated through KMS.
