Windows laptop unable to boot into Fog menu

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

@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.

the lenovo is booting Both , but legacy first.

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.

@froydo Did you get this figured out?

Yes JJ it all works now. thanks
