Does this happen with the VM only, where a physical computer boots normally?

If I’m understanding correctly, my physical machine boot perfectly into the FOG GUI it gives me after PXE.

the mac address of the device in your picture doesn’t match the mac address of the pxe

It changed because i had to rebuild the VM. I was originally logged into the Network admin account and, since I had to get off the domain, I exported the VM and brought it back up in the local admin account.

unning the dhcp server on the fog server for a reason in addition to the dhcp server on your router

I was unaware the FOG machine had that capabilities honestly. With that now being known, I feel it would be easier for FOG to handle everything since it was overwriting the router anyway.
I did disable the DHCP server capabilities on the router to hand it off to FOG.

Let me restart everything to make sure that the server is not handing out IPs anymore and I’ll post another pcap file here if the PXE boot fails again: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1R7fLhBw7umZ6A_gEZ5rvneKQX0Y0Mw_6/view?usp=sharing

@Quazz said in Connecting FOG to Virtual Machine:

our router is also dishing out IPs

I turned off the DHCP server option on the router and it still didn’t fix the problem, I took a pcap if you’d like it.
It seems odd to me that my router would only be messing up the VM though. Never had an issue with physical machines and the router.

@Quazz That would be the FOG Server.

@Quazz Our domain is strictly static and FOG is isolated completely off it. A rough topology of our FOG network is on the second page of this thread

@Sebastian-Roth Here is the .pcap file of my VM attempting to PXE boot from the host point of view: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zbHmSCoOC2tzi8xp5EVnj6KrhQwvSOcU/view?usp=sharing

After attempting to PXE boot with host off AD Domain. I’m getting a nicer looking wireshark output but still no dice on the PXE boot: https://drive.google.com/file/d/11GiICfArOKqcFUWdF6hQHV51r8oHTebV/view?usp=sharing

@Quazz @Sebastian-Roth Would my physical machine being on my domain be causing this issue?

Is there a way to use FOG off a usb to capture. that may be a work around i can use

@Quazz said in Connecting FOG to Virtual Machine:

Do you have the VirtualBox extension pack installed?

Yes, but my VirtualBox is 6.0. Would that make a difference?

@Quazz I mounted the .iso to my VM and booted to it.

@Quazz I booted to iPXE.pxe but i’m sure what i’m doing with this CL to boot to FOG. I’ve tried ‘autoboot’ but i got the output “Nothing to boot: No such file or directory”

@Quazz It might be the FOG server serving IPs. I’ve never had an issue booting to PXE and FOG with a physical machine, only this VM.

@Quazz My router doesn’t have the option to change the file. Let me try booting into iPXE.pxe and i’ll update you.

@Sebastian-Roth Firewall is completely off for Domain, Private, and Public and it doesn’t have an AV

@Sebastian-Roth 192.168.1.141

@Sebastian-Roth Yes, the VM is getting it’s own DHCP IP address that is coming from the proper router.

only occurs when you warm boot

Oh I have a .bat file that makes my machine shutdown and i start it when i’m ready.

My FOG Network is set up like this:

Sorry, I don’t have a topology software installed right now, had to use a white board.

It’s odd, because the broadcast packets make it to the machine that is hosting the VM. Would i have to change the host PC to DHCP also for it to make it?

So i found the same issue here (https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/10160/virtualbox-pxe-boot-no-configuration-methods-succeeded).
I don’t understand the solution 100%. If I set ipxe.pxe as the boot file, wouldn’t that be what fog captures instead of my windows VM?

@Quazz After running tests, it was Sophos that was causing the issue. Thank you!
