    @Wayne-Workman Sorry about the delay right now it looks like. I’ve tried multiple configs so this one is more or less a start over of where I was originally. So not much has changed currently.

    port=0
    log-dhcp
    tftp-root=/tftpboot
    dhcp-option=17,/images
    #Removed dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
    dhcp-no-override
    #removed dhcp-vendorclass=BIOS,PXEClient:Arch:00006
    dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI,PXEClient:Arch:00007
    dhcp-boot-UEFI,ipxe.0
    pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3
    pxe-service=X86PC, "Boot from network", undionly
    #removed local boot its un-needed
    dhcp-range=192.168.1.2,proxy

      @Killklli and the contents of your tftpboot directory?

      ls -lahRt /tftpboot

          @Killklli you don’t have a copy or a symbolic link of ipxe.efi for ipxe.0

          so lets fix that first:

          ln -s /tftpboot/ipxe.efi /tftpboot/ipxe.0
          
          or
          
          cd /tftpboot
          ln -s ipxe.efi ipxe.0
          

          Then try the scripts I gave you - and play around with them a little.

            @Killklli I’m not 100% sure you need to specify the file as ipxe.0. With Proxy dhcp the .0 extension is automatically appended, and I can’t keep it from appending it. So If my suspicions are correct, it may actually be looking for a file called: ipxe.0.0 as well. I don’t know for sure though.

              @Tom-Elliott It does. At least it did in my environment when I was fighting with it. Getting close to being able to revisit this subject myself. Expect to be migrating our DHCP servers to WinSrv 2012R2 in the next 30 days.

                  @need2 @Tom-Elliott well that complicates things… why did it work for me then? gah. I really need to sit down and tackle this.

                  @Killklli Run the below commands and then try the attached script.

                  ln -s /tftpboot/ipxe.efi /tftpboot/ipxe.efi.0
                  ln -s /tftpboot/ipxe.efi /tftpboot/ipxe.0
                  ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe.0
                  ln -s /tftpboot/undionly.kpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0
                  
                  port=0
                  log-dhcp
                  tftp-root=/tftpboot
                  dhcp-option=17,/images
                  dhcp-no-override
                  
                  
                  #this line is suspicious to me. What the heck does 6,2b mean ?
                  dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
                  
                  #Here, I define netboot types
                  dhcp-vendorclass=BIOS,PXEClient:Arch:00006
                  dhcp-vendorclass=UEFI,PXEClient:Arch:00007
                  
                  #Set bootfile names depending on the client vendor identifier
                  dhcp-boot=BIOS,undionly.kpxe
                  dhcp-boot=UEFI,ipxe.efi

                    @Wayne-Workman Hmmmm. UEFI still isn’t grabbing. But Legacy still is.

                      @Killklli I just tested on my system - all I had was failure with using symbolic links.

                      So - lets get rid of those and just use copies:

                      rm -f /tftpboot/undionly.kkpxe.0
                      rm -f /tftpboot/undionly.0
                      rm -f /tftpboot/ipxe.efi.0
                      rm -f /tftpboot/ipxe.0
                      cp /tftpboot/undionly.kkpxe /tftpboot/undionly.0
                      cp /tftpboot/ipxe.efi /tftpboot/ipxe.0
                      

                      Please stand by, I’m testing the code I gave you (it’s been a long day).

                        @Killklli Try this, I just confirmed it works with LEGACY, have a great feeling about UEFI also.

                        @Developers @Moderators Just making sure you guys see this.

                        #port=0

                          @Wayne-Workman I’m still confused that for whatever reason I’m not even seeing the UEFI boot grabbing IP’s. I just get a server timeout.

                            @Killklli try this - beyond this, I need some shut eye and I need to bring home my work laptop which is UEFI capable.

                            log-dhcp
                            tftp-root=/tftpboot

                            dhcp-option=17,/images
                            dhcp-option=vendor:PXEClient,6,2b
                            dhcp-no-override
                            pxe-prompt="Press F8 for boot menu", 3
                            pxe-service=X86PC, “Network Boot using undionly.0”, undionly
                            pxe-service=X86-64_EFI, "Network boot using ipxe.0", ipxe
                            dhcp-range=10.0.0.3,proxy
                            
                            
                            #for pxe-service=    the known types are below.
                            #x86PC, PC98, IA64_EFI, Alpha, Arc_x86, Intel_Lean_Client, IA32_EFI, BC_EFI, Xscale_EFI and X86-64_EFI

                              @Wayne-Workman Just for when you get back to this. It still didn’t work. Still getting PXE-E18: Server Response Timeout for UEFI machines. But Legacy Works.

                                @Killklli Another thing I learned last night about dnsmasq

                                is…

                                You can only have one config file in /etc/dnsmasq.d/ and the names of the files in there do not matter - the daemon will read all of them and use them as config files if it can.

                                because the configuration file here: /etc/dnsmasq.conf does not specify a name, it just specifies a directory to look in.

                                So if you have a backup config file inside of /etc/dnsmasq.d/ you have to move that file elsewhere because it will interfere with dnsmasq.

                                  @Killklli Are you still working on this? I have done a lot of testing and I am pretty sure that dnsmasq is not able to boot most UEFI devices as it uses DHCP option 43 which they don’t like (see here: https://www.mail-archive.com/dnsmasq-discuss@lists.thekelleys.org.uk/msg09233.html). I am working on a node.js proxy DHCP to support BIOS/UEFI and Mac OS X. But will be still a while I suppose - BIOS works pretty good and UEFI is not far either but the code is still a big mess.
