      @froydo Another, and hopefully, final change.

      The line of the config file that is looking only at :69 can you try:

      0.0.0.0:69

      and restart tftpd-hpa.

      Yes, the restart is still needed.

      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)

        @Tom-Elliott The OP sent me the pcap file.

        One remarkable thing found was there are two different dhcp server responses to the client’s discover packet. Each dhcp server is giving conflicting boot file and next server values to the client. In the pcap file there was no indication of the client asking the FOG server (assuming that is where the tcpdump command was being run) for the boot file.

        @froydo on your fog server make sure your tftp process is running. The following command should show you the tftp server is listenting netstat -an|grep 69

        You should see a line like udp 0.0.0.0:69

          Thanks I got that message which shows tftpd service is running. I did the changes in the config and restarted but still having the same issue, even with the windows firewall turned off.

            @froydo Maybe give dnsmasq and proxy dhcp a try?
            It’s been a while since I’ve configured it but here are some possibly helpful articles

            Have you tried the FogApi powershell module? It's pretty cool IMHO

              @froydo Additionally, and I’m sorry if this was covered earlier in these posts and I missed it, is this laptop booting to legacy pxe or uefi pxe? It sounds like legacy pxe since its looking for pxelinux.0 in one error. But just want to make sure we’re helping you configure the right thing here.

                  @froydo said in Windows laptop unable to boot into Fog menu:

                  Hi george1421,

                  My dhcp server is a Juniper ex3300 and under the Boot options, there is the Boot Server , I entered my fog server ip there.
                  there is the boot file which I entered “/bzImage”. There’s no next server option anywhere I could see.

                  So is your dhcp run completely by the switch? You don’t have a windows or linux dhcp service to manage things? Or did I miss something?

                    Good news . Problem solved. We had to add “next server” in our dhcp server. then everything works now. Thanks all for you help.

                      Hi Guys,

                      I have a new problem now. I’ve successfully boot into Fog Menu on the laptop and sucessfully registered the laptop. Now when I try to capture the image - on the laptop I see it keeps failing at “Attempting to check in - Failed” . and this repeats over and over again.

                        @froydo Did you make a image entry in the gui to upload to?

                        I would also suggest for your first host and image doing the quick host registration and inventory from the menu then queuing an upload from the gui.
                        After you do a quick registration there should be a host in your hosts gui.
                        You’ll also need to make a image to assign to the host so it has a database entry to link to.

                        If that doesn’t make sense check out https://wiki.fogproject.org/wiki/index.php?title=Managing_FOG or I can explain in more detail if you don’t find the answer there.
