      I have my fog server set up, and it’s 192.168.52.11, and the gateway is 192.168.52.254. I’m trying pxe boot on my Windows 11 VM to get the fog server to recognize my Windows 11 VM, and it only boots into WDS, not pxe boot, and the IP for Windows is 192.168.52.9. I’m only allowed to use static IP and not can’t use DHCP. I’m also new at using FOG. Any help would be appreciated.

        This right here is problem #1. WDS has a net boot service that overrides dhcp settings for pxe booting.

        I’m only allowed to use static IP and not can’t use DHCP

        Please explain this, do you mean you can’t use dhcp for the fog server ip address assignment or you can’t modify dhcp which is a primary requirement to pxe boot for the target computers?

        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!

          I have a separate VLAN, and my networking team doesn’t want me to give out “fake” IP addresses on our network.

            I think we have a language conflict here.

            To use fog, the target computers (the devices where you will deploy your image), must use dhcp to get the pxe boot information. If you don’t have dhcp available for the client computers you will have a difficult time booting over the network. With that said, we do have a method to boot the computes into FOG via a usb boot stick. In this case you will need to take the usb boot drive around to the computers to start the imaging process.

            The second issue you have is WDS. Right now FOG and WDS can not both occupy the same IP subnet since they will fight each other for network booting.

            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!
