Fog PXE Boot issues in VMware
-
@mmoore5553 As mentioned several times, bridged network mode in VMware will be the only proper option for you here. Possibly best if you take a picture of the settings dialog and post here.

@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth yes the only issues is vm workstation and it is in bridge mode. I just got it to work once so far. It is uploading the image and nothing changed at all. Just on that restart I did it just via network IP 4. I booted to firmware and then picked network card.
This drives me nuts .

i have finally figured out how to get vm workstation working with no problems. My computer is plugged into real network at the time. I have to plug into the isolated network. When it pulls an IP address I then go and disable the adapter and enable it again. it then gets the ip address again. I then run ipconfig /flushdns.
After i do that and only then will i start VM workstation. i will go to the vm and go back to my snapshot. before i open it i always make sure the settings are showing bridged. I then power on the vm to the saved stated and run a ipconfig to make sure the computer and vm have actual same IPs in the subnet. Then run a flushdns on the vm. Then i sysprep and then boot to firmware on the vm. Then i pick network boot.
This has worked 7 times with no issues. I am sure i could cut out some steps but it is real easy for me to do all of it real quick. I only check to make sure it is bridged mode once.
Once i started to do this vm workstation work everytime and even on VM reboots.
I hope this helps someone else out.
Oh and i disable wireless first if you are using that.
