      I’m new to FOG, just installed it today. Correct me if I’m wrong, but my understanding is that I need to boot the computer I wish to use as a host in PXE, register it for client use, then log in to my server and create an image and a host, and assign that image to the host, then log in to my server on another computer and begin to upload the image. I have a couple problems.

      1. The computer I am using as a test host will not boot into PXE. I have enabled 66 and 67 on the DHCP server, FOG is not running as a DHCP server, I have upgraded the BIOS, and I have PXE set as the first boot option. When I try booting, it returns nothing for TFTP and hangs on DHCP for a while. It then exits PXE and boots Windows.
      2. When attempting to upload my image, it hangs in queue and goes nowhere, but I think that’s due to number 1.

      Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

        I’ve just upgrade my fog server to 1.0.1 and have problème to boot the host under pxe!!!
        few informations :
        ubuntu 12.04 ; fog 1.0.1
        service tftpd-hpa running
        my fog config.php :
        …
        [/quote]

        I run Fog under the same version of Ubuntu as you and in the past I have had PXE boot issues. I don’t remember exactly what all the symptoms were, but over time I have come up with this two line script and I just run this every time, first thing, after I reboot the Fog server… since I started this practice…never had any problems again:

        sudo this file

        start isc-dhcp-server
        restart tftpd-hpa

        ++ ++ ++ ++
        Fog Server:
        O/S Ubuntu V14.0x, 64-bit
        Fog Software: v3121

        Deploy Computers:
        O/S Windows 7, 64 bit
        HDD: about 300 GB

              On the fog server, try running the command:
              [code]sudo service tftpd-hpa restart[/code]
              Have you disabled the firewall on your fog server:
              [code]sudo ufw stop
              sudo ufw disable[/code]

                I just updated the password on the management front end, and I’ll see where that takes me. It seems every computer I try to boot into I get a different PXE error…

                  is your tftp service running on the server?

                    I am getting an IP returned from DHCP, but not from TFTP. It will run DHCP for a while, then TFTP for a short period of time and returns PXE-M0F and then boots Windows. I ran the command
                    [CENTER]tftp 172.16.0.35 get unidonly.kpxe[/CENTER]
                    [LEFT]and it returns “Timeout occurred Connect request failed” I don’t know where to go now, short of re-installing FOG in hopes that I didn’t miss something.[/LEFT]
