Thanks george, hopefully we will begin to implement the pxechain method and actually get this system off the ground.

Appreciate your help.

We have very little flexibility with what we can do in terms of the DHCP server and WDS, as they lie on a server we have almost no access to and have been informed that we are unable to move these services to another server.

The chainbooting idea seems like the best way to go about it. I looked into earlier on however, the only up to date stuff seemed to be for the legacy fog deployment and am not sure how to get it to go with the latest software as well as dnsmasq. if you have any advice in relation to setting it up in a chainboot method that would be fantastic.

Thanks for your time.

Hello,

We currently run a DHCP server that has WDS already and working, we can deploy off of WDS.

However, we cannot modify the DHCp server in any way sadly due to restrictions, we cannot turn off WDS. I have setup Fog on a test laptop with Kubuntu and am using dnsmasq to try and route it so that we can PXE boot using fog. Sadly it only allows us to boot into WDS and gives none of the options for fog so I potentially have dnsmasq setup incorrectly or perhaps my fog setup is incorrect.

I have followed the wiki guide for dnsmasq and it looks fine but it seems as if the fog server is not sending out the DHCP request.

Any help or advice would be appreciated.
