      @phil_guy Long shot, but there isn’t any other DHCP server on your network, right…?

      I don’t know what that link is, but it doesn’t seem to be a dhcp config file.

        @Quazz To my knowledge, there is no other dhcp server.

        And that link should just be a picture of whats in my dhcp config file.

          Can you try unplugging your FOG server from the network and checking a client machine to ensure there are no other DHCP servers on the network?

            @phil_guy The fact that you can’t ping the client from the fog server is very strange though. I really feel like something changed in your network setup.

            Are there no routers on your network? (if there are, declare them in your DHCP file) Also, if this will be your DHCP server anyway you might want to declare a DNS server (unless it’s not needed of course).

            I can post (part of) my DHCP config if you feel like that might help, but I really doubt the issue is in your DHCP tbh.

              @phil_guy The file you uploaded is not the /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf file.

                @ITSolutions I unplugged my fog server from the network and on my client machine it shows the DHCP server to be the fog server.

                @Quazz I have one router but my fog server doesn’t need internet access. I use it just for imaging. The fog server does get Internet through one of its NICs but thats just for browsing/convenience. I had set up the fog server to be separate from my local network to be used just for imaging.

                @Wayne Workman You wanted a picture of it or the actual file? I just ran a cat /etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf and snapped a photo.

                Worst comes to worst, I’ll just have to do a fresh wipe and reinstall everything.

                  But did you do an IPCONFIG /refresh or reboot the machine to ensure that it isn’t getting an ip with the FOG server unplugged?
                  Also it sounds like you have 2 nics in the server, are you sure that everything in FOG, DHCP and TFTP are configured tot he correct NIC?

                    My fog server does have to 2 nics. I’m pretty sure I configured those right. I had a separate post and another fog project moderator helped me through the process and got it working perfectly.

                    I really think something in that software update I did messed something up. Thats literally the only change I made in that 3 week period between it working and not working.

                    So i unplugged the fog server from my local network and rebooted the client machine. When it started it back up again, it still had the same IP address and pointed back to the fog server as its DHCP server.

                      @phil_guy That sounds like there maybe an issue elsewhere such as the client with a static address, or the switch doing something odd. If the fog server is the only DHCP on the network and you unplug it the client shouldn’t receive any IP at all. Can you try a different client machine?

                          Yeah…umm, I said screw it and did a wipe and fresh install on the entire thing. I can pxe boot fine now. I am however run into an image capturing issue but i’ll save that for another day or post if I can’t figure it out.

                          I appreciate the the help.

                            Just wanted to reply here, I just had the “TFTP open timeout” error at home, it ended up being a bad patch cable. Simply replacing the cable with a new one solved the issue.
