it’s complaining it can’t get an IP address.

what is your DHCP server running on?

I’ve had this a small amount at my current place of work, but it is only laptops plugged in via their Ethernet ports…

Is this a type-o or did you really enter your ip address as 172.16. 8.1 because there is a space in there.

i’m using a mikrotik as router and dhcp server for this network segment and my fog server and host machines are geting dhcp from it.

Another possibility is to install the dnsmasq service to help alleviate the issues of trying resolve your dhcp information.

Now something came to my mind, i’m using supernetting in this network, my network is 172.16.8.0/21, the pxe protocol supports supernetting?

sorry subnetting, bad english

I use a 10.x.x.x with 255.255.248.0 subnet mask, works fine for me.

Hello .

This setting works IF you disable "Allways Broadcast " in DHCP setings .
