here’s the screenshot with those commands

@george1421

ok I ran the following command nano /etc/resolv.conf but now I’m getting the this message: DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND–YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN

@george1421
I’m sorry I don’t understand what your asking

@george1421

had to take a picture of the command because I could not access internet with FOG server. also could not PXE boot while connected to my router or on Isolated network using switch. thanks for your help

@george1421

if I could ask another question. If the FOG server is running DHCP and is plugged up to a switch without internet access, I should be able to PXE using a laptop plugged up the same switch?

@george1421

ok will do as soon I get home. would the command to retrieve the information be sudo or cat /etc/resolv.conf file?

@george1421

it’s not plugged up to isolated internet yet. Right now its plugged up to my router. everything was working fine until yesterday. then my another PC started using my FOG server as its DHCP server which caused all kinds of issue with my home network. Once I rebooted my router my issue was resolved with my home PC but now I can’t PXE boot to the FOG server or access the internet. I can ping 8.8.8.8 but can’t ping www.google.com any help would be great.

@george1421

ok thanks, During the install of FOG software I took the defaults so DNS and DHCP were installed. for some reason, the FOG server worked perfectly over the weekend but now I’m not able to PXE boot to the server and
I’m not to able to ping www.google.com but I can ping 8.8.8.8 so I guess this is a DNS issue. here the error message on the server . do you think removing DNS could fix the error message below

@george1421

all I need the fog server to do is upload an image and down an image using PXE boot. Can I get by without DNS and DHCP?

@george1421

Let me ask you one more question, it may even sound a little stupid, but if I take the Fog Server and plug it up to a hub then take the laptop I’m trying to PXE boot and plug it up to the hub also, without any internet going to the hub should it still be able to PXE boot?

@george1421

it looks like my FOG server took over as my local DHCP server which caused all kinds of issues with my home PC. Had to unplugged the FOG server and reboot my router to fix the issue. would your suggestion keep this from happening? Also i’m not sure I understand you about the default route part. Sorry for the dumb questions and now i can’t PXE boot to the server but I can HTTP to server using the laptop with the PXE boot issue.

Running Version 1.3.0-RC-5

@Wayne-Workman

I just updated my fog server yesterday I’m not sure of the version. I can take a look when I get home.

How can I isolated my fog server from the internet without changing my setting on the fog server?

Re: PXE boot issue

my issue is now resolved thanks everyone for all your help. You have made me very proud to call my self a geek,until my next problem have a great day !! I’m definitely donating !!

My PXE boot issue seems to be resolved with the install of the latest version of FOG . I do have a couple of questions during one of my PXE boot test the laptop required me to input the FOG server address but it did work. not sure why that would happen. With the new FOG GUI version I’m not seeing the option to upload image to the server, so is the GUI different than FOG 1.2.0 version? also do I need to syprep each image?

@george1421

ok will do thanks for your input. Do you have instructions on how to upgrade?

I just installed this version of fog software this weekend. would I still need to update?

192.168.1.4

I’m not sure if this is what your looking for. Thanks again for helping a newbie out
