      Hi team, I am trying to image my windows 7 home and I have some problem using PXE boot. I got the error when the computer was booting. I think the target computer did not detect the fog server computer. Even IP address did not appear.
      alt text
      And I have started the dnsmasq service in the Ubuntu computer which installed fogs server. And have configured it with correct content.

        Because I cannot control the DHCP, so I did what it says in the article.

          @weidongyan Please run sudo systemctl status dnsmasq and post output here. As well I may ask you to post the full content of your dnsmasq configuration file.

          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)

              @Sebastian-Roth I was having trouble with starting dnsmasq service, saying bad dhcp-range which pointed to the end of the configuration was something wrong. I tried to reinstall dnsmasq service and now it is working now. I am not sure if there is some connection between these two problem.

                @weidongyan said in PXE-E53: No boot filename recieved:

                dhcp-range=<192.168.88.40>,proxy

                Please check your config again. All the places where you have <192.168.88.40> should actually be 192.168.88.40 without the tag characters!!

                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)

                  +1 That’s exactly the problem.

                  There is another tutorial on how to install dnsmasq service here: https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server

                  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!

                    @george1421 Hi, George. Unfortunately, I still got the same problem here with that issue fixed. My configuration is like this

                      @george1421 Hi George, it worked!!! After I made update for dnsmasq. I was thinking about that dnsmasq did not use the configuration that I created to run. So I was updating it and it worked. Thank you.

                        @weidongyan And you have confirmed that dnsmasq is running on the fog server ps aux|grep dnsmasq AND the pxe booting client are on the same subnet?

                            @george1421 I got some tricky ways to find if dnsmasq is using the configuration that we created. In the directory /etc/dnsmasq.d/, we created the configuration file, but if there is no other file called README, I think dnsmasq did not use the configuration file. But after I updated dnsmasq, there is a new file called README. And it works!!! I am not sure if my thoughts was right. But it got working in my case.
