      Yes, that is the exact scenario.

        Does the same DHCP server support both 192.168.10.x and 192.168.12.x or do they have separate DHCP servers?

          The same DHCP server supports both. I verified that one right off 🙂
          Thanks for helping Chad. I really need it!

            The gateway for those which will not PXE boot is a .12 address of course and .10 for the ones that will PXE boot.

              On the 192.168.12.x network, do you even get the FOG menu or does it error out trying to find pxelinux.0?

                No, I don’t even get the FOG menu. It errors out trying to find pxelinux. I believe the error is No Image File Found.

                  Check the config on the DHCP server. Maybe the scope definition for 192.168.12.x has a syntax error for the filename option.

                    That was awesome! Now the .12 machines are able to get to the FOG menu but there is still ONE issue. I was able to register the host but imaging failed.
                    “Unable to connect to tftp server”
                    is the error now.

                    Almost there 🙂

                      Do you have a file on the FOG Server in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/01-Mac-address? If so, can you paste the contents?

                        Hello Chad,
                        There is no file except Default in /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/
                        What other information can I provide?

                          Another interesting little tidbit. In FOG when I got to Other Information and attempt to set a master password an error message appears
                          “PXE menu update failed. Unable to connect to tftp server”

                          FYI - I received this message yesterday and did stop and restart the tftp server via Terminal by typing in sudo stop tftpd-hpa and sudo start tftpd-hpa

                            Sounds like it might be a password issue for tftp. I think. Maybe.

                            Reference this: [url]http://www.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Unable_to_connect_to_TFTP[/url]

                            Particularly the bit about setting the password for the user “Fog” and it matching [B]TFTP_FTP_PASSWORD[/B] and [B]STORAGE_FTP_PASSWORD [/B]in /var/www/fog/commons/config.php (at least that’s my path in 11.10)

                            Seems like I had something else to do as well, but I guess start with that and see how it goes.

                              If one machine still boots to PXE and run something like a hardware inventory, then I wouldn’t think it is the TFTP password. Schedule a hardware inventory task for a machine in the 192.168.10.x network and make sure that works.

                              If that works. Try to schedule a task for a machine in the 192.168.12.x network. Schedule it through the web interface, then check the /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg/ folder for a task file matching your machine (01-mac-address-of-machine). If you get a file in that folder, paste the contents into this thread (use code tags).
