Unable to register host. DHCP failed or we were unable to access....

[Mr_K]

Hi all.
I am getting the below problem when trying to register devices. Not sure where to even begin on this as I have no idea what 192.168.0.3 is, as it is not an address being used to my knowledge at least, I presume this is just a basic configuration problem but I installed fog a few days ago and am trying it out so am mostly unfamiliar with the platform.

My current setup is Poweredge R630, 24port HP Procurve and an old hp desktop running OPNsense.

Any advice is appreciated.

@Mr_K This seems to be a routing issue:

Your fog server lives at 192.168.0.3

Your machine is getting an IP of 192.168.1.148

Your router providing 192.168.1.X is likely unable to route 192.168.1.X -> 192.168.0.X

@Mr_K
Thanks for the help Tom. You got me pointed in the right direction. Everything is working now.

I did a complete Ubnutu and fog fresh install to make sure I wasn’t missing anything and noticed during the installation it was grabbing my WAN IP as the fog server IP and then somehow changing the fog server IP to my LAN IP. So when I clicked on the link from the terminal after it had finished it was 192.168.1.148 however everything was setup “certs, storage Ipxe” ect as my WAN IP 20.21.X.X.

All I had to do was just change the fog settings so the IP’s matched re ran the installer to grab the new files and everything is running perfect now.
