No Reply when PXEBoot

[Exig3nci]

Hello,

I’m trying to get my FOG server up and running, I was able to get FOG installed, configured, but I’m getting no reply when I try to PXEBoot from my laptop (PXE: E55).
In the environment I’m working in, we have Cisco switches manage the DHCP side of networking, we don’t have permissions to setup DHCP through Windows Server.
I’ve set the proper DHCP settings to point to the FOG server, I followed these instructions:(https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php/Other_DHCP_Configurations)

I also tried using dnsmasq as a proxy to point to the FOG server:
(https://wiki.fogproject.org//wiki/index.php?title=Using_FOG_with_an_unmodifiable_DHCP_server/_Using_FOG_with_no_DHCP_server)

I have a very basic understanding of how exactly all the network settings fall together, am I missing something? I’ve tried multiple different settings on the proxyDHCP as well as reinstalling FOG and starting from the beginning, but I still can’t get it to work properly.

E55 error usually means nothing is responding to tftp traffic. This could mean there is no point to the file tftp needs. It most likely is a firewall blocking access to the port, most likely the servers firewall.

Thanks Tom.

I disabled the firewall on my FOG server, I’ve made some progess as far as another error code, I get PXE E51 now instead of E55.
I’ll do some digging.

E51 means the system is not getting DHCP
