        [quote=“Tom Elliott, post: 38577, member: 7271”]While you are using your router, are you specifying the next-server/option 66 and filename/option 67 options?

        It seems to me the reason your systems aren’t getting ipxe/pxe menu is simply because they don’t know where to get it.[/quote]

        Yes it is (i’ve seen your replys to everyone else so i made this was correct)

          Please help us build the FOG community with everyone involved. It's not just about coding - way more we need people to test things, update documentation and most importantly work on uniting the community of people enjoying and working on FOG! Get in contact with me (chat bubble in the top right corner) if you want to join in.

          Web GUI issue? Please check apache error (debian/ubuntu: /var/log/apache2/error.log, centos/fedora/rhel: /var/log/httpd/error_log) and php-fpm log (/var/log/php*-fpm.log)

          Please support FOG if you like it: https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Support_FOG

            [I][U][B]Ubuntu 14.04.1 Is not officially supported by the FOG development team[/B], we really advise users to use a pure Debian or CentOS revision.[/U][/I]

            Awesome write up, and I liked your blog, with all the images it should really help! Fog does seem to run rather beautifully on the 14.04.1 set up :)[/quote]

            Just a quick question you say it works on pure Debian but i been try to get PXE menu to boot for last past 24 hours on computers, and i can’t:
            does it really work on Debian 7.7
            fog1.2.0
            DHCP and DNS off So using my routers as dhcp/dns
            i’ve used fog many times before over 100 and this is the second time i am having problems so not really sure why?
            (if you want me to open a new post i will)

              I fail to see how anything you just said makes you unqualified to post on the wiki…
