proxydhcp offers were received, no dhcp offers were received

[FuriousGamer065]

Hey, I have a FOG Server with dnsmasq on my home network, all my other workstations boot from network and boot to the hard drive fine. My old system I gave to my brother, i tried to add it to my fog server and it gives me a error about the Proxydhcp offers were received, no dhcp offers were not. I don’t know how to fix it, help?

This one is a bit hard to diagnose since you’ve provided so little information.

Assuming all other systems pxe boot like you say, the fog server can probably be ruled out, as well as dnsmasq. The PXE rom lives on the network card/LOM so the PXE rom driver knows how to reach the network. So I would say network cable or you have 2 network adapters in that computer and you are trying to pxe boot from the wrong network adapter compared to where the pxe rom is running from.

Usually when I boot my Computers on Network through pxe, It would find my server, then load it through dnsmasq (Which it’s suppose to do) and I can do all the functions without any trouble. This computer on the other hand, When you boot it to the On-board Network, it boots into pxe, it would start the process then die after it starts and gives me the error “Proxydhcp offers were received, no dhcp offers were received.”
I went into windows and installed the FOG Tray and it runs fine but it can’t boot FOG from Network.

@FuriousGamer065 So what is providing DHCP in your network???

[FuriousGamer065]

@Sebastian-Roth @george1421 My Home Router is supporting DHCP, I made my FOG server use dnsmasq so I do not screw with the DHCP settings on my Router.

@FuriousGamer065 So did you use my tutorial and config file exactly to setup your dnsmasq service? https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/12796/installing-dnsmasq-on-your-fog-server
