        @steharv Once you update the IP Address in the fogsettings file, rerun the installer. I’m also going to guess that you may need to update your storage node information.

        On a secondary note, is your FOG Server providing DHCP as well as your main Router?

        Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

        Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          @Tom-Elliott Router is just set to default DHCP setting which is on and when installing FOG I answered yes to use FOG as DHCP server. No storage nodes, I can just reinstall FOG as can go back to a preinstall snapshot on VB.

            @Tom-Elliott Hi Tom, I reinstalled FOG from scratch, I set the FOG server IP to 192.168.1.248 and then DHCP and DNS server the same IP but it still tries to look for 192.168.1.1 when it boots?

              @steharv Then the problem is you have two DHCP servers on your network. This is why you’re getting access to FOG iPXE menu intermittently. Both DHCP servers are on the same network, and BOTH are issuing IP’s in the same subnet. If FOG hands out faster than the router, you’ll be able to get to FOG iPXE Menu, if not you’ll get an error.

              I’d highly recommend looking into manually updating the information.

                @steharv In your Router you should have a method to set options for Boot IP and Boot file. It’s here I would recommend updating things. In MS DHCP the options are 66/67 (66 being the FOG Server’s IP/67 being the bootfile - ipxe.pxe, undionly.kpxe, etc…)

                        @Tom-Elliott Would I be better off just installing DNSMasq?

                          You probably would. Follow George’s post here (full config file) and check your dnsmasq version: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12133/fog-on-existing-dhcp-server/3

                              @Sebastian-Roth I have tried restart dnsmasq but get the following error" Job for dnsmasq. service failed because the control process exited with errror code. See "systemctl status dnsmasq.service and “journalctl - xe” for details.

                                      @steharv Be sure to use my example completely and not just edit your ltsp.conf file to match. My config file is known to work correctly.

                                      # Don't function as a DNS server:
port=0

# Log lots of extra information about DHCP transactions.
log-dhcp

# Set the root directory for files available via FTP.
tftp-root=/tftpboot

# The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address
dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,<fog_server_IP>

# Disable re-use of the DHCP servername and filename fields as extra
# option space. That's to avoid confusing some old or broken DHCP clients.
dhcp-no-override

# inspect the vendor class string and match the text to set the tag
dhcp-vendorclass=BIOS,PXEClient:Arch:00000
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI32,PXEClient:Arch:00006
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI,PXEClient:Arch:00007
dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI64,PXEClient:Arch:00009

# Set the boot file name based on the matching tag from the vendor class (above)
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI32,i386-efi/ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI,ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>
dhcp-boot=net:UEFI64,ipxe.efi,,<fog_server_IP>

# PXE menu.  The first part is the text displayed to the user.  The second is the timeout, in seconds.
pxe-prompt="Booting FOG Client", 1

# The known types are x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86,
# Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI
# This option is first and will be the default if there is no input from the user.
pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot to FOG", undionly.kpxe
pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI", ipxe.efi
pxe-service=BC_EFI, "Boot to FOG UEFI PXE-BC", ipxe.efi

dhcp-range=<fog_server_ip>,proxy

                                      Be sure to replace each instance of <fog_server_ip> with the IP address of your fog server. There are several instances of that tag in the config file above.

                                      The last bit is to ensure you have the correct version or later of dnsmasq or the config file will not work. From the linux command prompt key in dnsmasq -v. The version returned should be 2.76 or later. If its earlier than this you will have issues with uefi systems even if you use my config file exactly.
