    what are you using for your DHCP server?

      Um, I don’t really do much with the DHCP, my boss handles most of that. It’s on Windows Server 2008 R2. I just know the IPv4 scope options 66 and 67 are set like they should be. Is that what you were needing?

        You could always try DNSMasq to proxy serve your bootfile and server, sometimes this can alleviate issues with finding the correct files.

          Windows Server 2008 R2 doesn’t have any known issues delivering dhcp information correctly. a few others do, that’s why i was asking.

            Well, if it’s not dhcp, then what could it be?

            I can give this a try later today.

              since you’re hosting the server in vmware player, i have to wonder if there’s delays that are giving timeouts or something similar

                I did not think about that. Should I try virtualbox or something else?

                Just out of curiosity, I have Fog server configured with “Bridged: Connected directly to the physical network” with “Replicate physical network connection state” checked. I currently have Fog with a separate IP address as the physical machine. Should they have the same IP or should it be separated like I have them.

                  i’m not familiar with vmware player, so i’m afraid that i can’t tell you what setting to use. i’m sure someone could tell you how to get this to work perfectly, but not me. if you’re just trying to get this working for testing/evaluation purposes. an old desktop would might work better for you.

                    A new update: I tried the same thing with a laptop and have the same issue.

                    As an experiment, I tried to chain load the virtual Ubuntu 13.10 with fog 1.2. The reasoning is because the old pxelinux.0 worked on the old test vm, but not the undionly.kpxe on fog 1.2. As a result, I can get it to boot the fog menu every couple of times, but not consistently. I am attaching a picture to show what it does. If it does boot to fog, it will configure real fast and boot. Otherwise, it does like the picture shows and goes to “press a key to reboot” after a few seconds.

                                  Wouldn’t the kernels be up to date with the newest fog (1.2)? Or is that something that has to be done manually?

                                    This did it!!! Finally, thank you so much. :):D Now that it boots Fog every time, I can learn how to actually use it instead of installing it. Thank you so much.

                                      Hi Phantox,

                                      Can you please guide me to fix this issue. I have same issue. I have Fog 1.2.0 running in Ubuntu 12.04. I am using Windows Server for DHCP service.

                                      Thanks in advance.

                                        I really just followed this guide to setting up DNSMasq.

                                        [URL=‘http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE’][I][SIZE=12px]http://fogproject.org/wiki/index.ph...with_no_DHCP_server#DNSMASQ_settings_for_iPXE[/SIZE][/I][/URL]

                                        I didn’t do step 7 or 8 on the guide. Instead, I jumped down to the section “DNSMASQ settings for IPXE” and continued from there.

                                        To be able to edit and create files, I used “sudo gksu nautilus.” I used gedit (text editor) to create the ltsp.conf file and saved it to my desktop. Then using “sudo gksu nautilus” in terminal allowed me to move the ltsp.conf from my Desktop to /etc/dnsmasq.d/ltsp.conf. Make sure to edit ltsp.conf for your setup. For example:

                                        The boot filename, Server name, Server Ip Address

                                        dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,[B]x.x.x.x[/B]

                                        Change the [B]x.x.x.x[/B] to your fog server IP address.

                                        I also changed the IP address in this section to point to my fog server.

                                        This range(s) is for the public interface, where dnsmasq functions

                                        as a proxy DHCP server providing boot information but no IP leases.

                                        Any ip in the subnet will do, so you may just put your server NIC ip here.

                                        Since dnsmasq is not providing true DHCP services, you do not want it

                                        handing out IP addresses. Just put your servers IP address for the interface

                                        that is connected to the network on which the FOG clients exist.

                                        If this setting is incorrect, the dnsmasq may not start, rendering

                                        your proxyDHCP ineffective.

                                        dhcp-range=[B]10.0.0.10[/B],proxy

                                        I hope that helps you.

                                          Thanks a lot for your help Phantox. I will try tomorrow and let you know.

                                          I have bit doubt in (dhcp-range=[B]10.0.0.10[/B],proxy) part. Can I give DHCP server IP B[/B] in place of [B]10.0.0.10[/B] as our ip range is in 172.17.x.x

                                          Once again thanks for you help.
