@george1421 Thank you so much for the help. I managed to get Fog installed and managed to boot a laptop into PXE. My next issue is that after doing a quick or full reg and inventory, that I can see my device in the web management but once the device restart to do capture a image, it does not start but I notice that in red is written "Host is NOT registered.
Why is it that if the web management can see the registration but device is not registered after a restart?
@george1421 @Sebastian-Roth What OS do you recommend I use. Happy to try any. I had Ubuntu 20.04 installed in the week but it did not want to install php-gettext and after days I gave up and found instruction on 16.04 and that is why I installed it.
@george1421 OK, I think I get what your saying now. I still get that error message, any idea on how to solve that?

@george1421 Please see screenshot below,
At the moment I have a Ethernet card and a Wifi card. I want to use the Ethernet card for the DHCP and the Wifi card for Internet. My Wifi network is 192.168.1.x and my Ethernet card I have a Static address entered as 192.168.2.1 The issue is that FOG install does not register that the Ethernet port has a IP Address (See screenshot). But if you look at my Ethernet IP configuration (See screenshot again) I have a Static IP entered.
This is where it gets strange, If I plug a cable into the Ethernet port and plug into a switch, then the Fog Install registers my IP address on the Ethernet but then I lose Internet connection even though I am still connected to the Internet.
Hi
I am trying to install a Fog server that runs it’s own DHCP (Setup with FOG) on a network without Internet intended to only use it to do re-imaging. I am struggle install the Fog Server and would appreciate any help.
Has anyone done this before?
OS: Ubuntu 16.04
The other issue I have that is making my life very difficult is that it looks like the Fog Server want Internet to install and currently I am connected with Wifi to the internet, But I want the DHCP to be linked to the Ethernet port. The issue is that every time I enable the Ethernet port it stops all internet from the Wifi card (Don’t know why).
I am open to install any other OS to do this.
