hi there

i am considering using fog on my linux machine and i am wondering whether i can use fog without using the dhcp function.
my router handles all DHCP addressing for my network i have looked in the configuration of the router and the router doesnt support the feature to add the server address for the PXE server. so im wondering whether it will still work without that feature in the router or whether i need to consider disabling the DHCP portion of my modem/router.

Depends. Sometimes I’ve heard of it working, other times I have heard it doesn’t work.

It’s the consistency of what I do that makes me use third party firmware (when / where) possible.

If all else fails, you could install dnsmasq.
