      So I have an array of machines that are on the network, most are identical HP machines. Have existing FOG server that some machines can PXE boot to and some cannot. Those that cannot, get the PXE-E51 error, No DHCP or proxyDHCP offers were received. I have gone through all the BIOS settings on the machines, and actually exported and imported from a working machine and still cannot PXE boot. Any idea on where to start troubleshooting?

        @r00s7a This is most likely an issue with your network infrastructure and not fog. The DHCP offers come from your primary dhcp server. If that DHCP server is not FOG Server then its not something you can solve on the fog server.

        Where we have seen sometimes they pxe boot and sometimes not is if you have two dhcp servers on your network. Possibly in a primary / secondary configuration. Confirm that all dhcp servers have dhcp options 66 and 67 set because these settings are not replicated between windows dhcp servers.

        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!
