      We can help, but we need details to work with.

      Can you provide a copy of your current ltsp.conf file, a screenshot or photo of the error you’re seeing, and the output of this command:

      ls -lahRt /tftpboot
      

      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!

        this is the file i am using

        # Sample configuration for dnsmasq to function as a proxyDHCP server,
        # enabling LTSP clients to boot when an external, unmodifiable DHCP
        # server is present.
        # The main dnsmasq configuration is in /etc/dnsmasq.conf;
        # the contents of this script are added to the main configuration.
        # You may modify the file to suit your needs.
        
        # Don't function as a DNS server:
        port=0
        
        # Log lots of extra information about DHCP transactions.

        # Set the root directory for files available via FTP.
        tftp-root=/tftpboot

          @mati-92 The first thing that jumps out at me is this line:

          dhcp-boot=pxelinux.0
          

          that should be changed to the boot file you want to use - generally this is undionly.kpxe

          But, I asked for three things and you only provided one. 🙂

          Look at the article link you posted, there’s a bit in there about symbolic links. if you wanted to use undionly.kpxe as your boot file, you need to create a symbolic link to undionly.kpxe.0

          also - if you still get further errors after this - we really need to see a photo of the error and we need to know what changes you’ve made - and we need to see the output of the below command.

          Details, details, details.

                the error i get from the PXE boot is this

                DHCP (net0 08:00:27:6b:7e:bc)… ok

                  @mati-92 What is 10.0.2.4 ? what is 10.0.0.2 ? What is ub2.pxe ?

                  and

                  do you have a static IP set on your FOG server - and a reservation made on your home network device’s DHCP configuration?

                  What is your FOG server’s IP?

                      @mati-92 And the other IPs? Do you have a pre-existing network-boot environment?

                        i have no idea what the 10.0.0.2 ip addresses are i have had a look in the conf files and i cant see these address in there, could these address be because i am using virtualbox ?i also have no idea what the ub2.pxe my current ip scheme for the entire house is between 192.168.0.1- 192.168.0.255. no pre-existing boot enviroment.

                          In such case - please try this as your ltsp.conf file:

                          port=0
                          log-dhcp
                          tftp-root=/tftpboot
                          dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,192.168.0.14,192.168.0.14
                          dhcp-option=17,/images
                          dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
                          dhcp-no-override
                          pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3
                          pxe-service=X86PC, “Boot from network”, undionly
                          pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from local hard disk", 0
                          dhcp-range=192.168.0.14,proxy
                          

                          Then run this command:

                          ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe.0
                          

                          Then ensure dnsmasq is running like this:

                          sudo service dnsmasq enable
                          sudo service dnsmasq restart
                          

                          See if you can get a status after restarting dnsmasq like this, note any errors:

                          sudo service dnsmasq status
                          

                          For future readers, the last three commands are Ubuntu/Debian specific.

                                  @mati-92 Check the target computer’s firmware settings. I’ve noticed on some that there are options for network booting that you can set in the firmware itself, such as target server and boot file.

                                      @mati-92 Well if it’s asking for undionly.0 then give that to it lol.

                                      make a sym-link for it:

                                      ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0
                                      

                                      Good to see progress!
