I give up.

Anyways. What’s the big deal of me only posting 4 times? It doesn’t mean I didn’t research the forums for answers. I did in fact. But why should I bother go further when the solutions previously posted for the issue no longer work. Fog is not hard at all to setup in a isolated network environment but if is still not stable then why even bother. Ubuntu is a mainstream OS with an unbelievable large community… with that said my thoughts were that if it doesn’t work well on Ubuntu it will not work well installed on anything else so I didn’t bother. I am now testing on Fedora and I hope I am wrong for making such assumptions.

Just FYI Fedora TFTP hangs as well. I don’t understand what gives. I’ll continue to test with other distros and update.

When you say TFT P hangs what is the error message
-
The machine I am trying to register/image gets an IP but then TFTP looks like:
TFTP…
-
it literally says “tftp…” ?
how directly is this client connected to the server? what network equipment is in between? do you get a file when you run the command
[CODE]tftp x.x.x.x get undionly.kpxe[/CODE] from a windows computer, where the x’s are the IP of the server. you may need to install the tftp client, as it is not installed by default in windows 7 and higher. -

tftp is a communication protocol. there are clients for tftp for every operating system. it is the protocol that pxe boot uses to download undionly.kpxe
my instructions are to verify that the tftp server is accessible and hosting the file. -

There is a client to communicate with FOG from windows called the TFTP Client, if you download it and run the command we can verify that your boot file is getting to the correct location as intended.
FOG is only developed for linux operating systems. The creators devised an ingenious way to image machines using the pxe boot method which was highly sought after during the time when other similarly functioning softwares costed a large amount of cash. They used FREE software to complete the project, it since then has grown and a lot of features and additions have happened. FOG is developed for linux so it is free because it uses other free software. It can not function on windows without emulation.
Please add the tftp client in the Add and Remove Features section and run the command.
