Hi @george1421 ,

Thanks for you reply. It was very helpful to see running FOG on ESXi server wasn’t the problem.
I found the issue and fortunately you and @dureal99d had the solution on a different post lol.(https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9513/pfsense-is-great/2)
pfSense supports network booting on the DHCP Server side. I had to enable that feature and put my FOG Server IP in the name server. God, I love pfSense.

I have to continue working on other FOG issues lol.
Thanks guys you’re a lifesaver.

Hi @Sebastian-Roth yes, you’re right. pfSense was the problem and solution. Found the solution on this post ((https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9513/pfsense-is-great/2)

Hi guys,

I’m new to FOG and recently installed the server in a virtual environment. I run ESXi 6.5 Server, where I run my virtualized pfSense firewall along side FOG. The pfSense is connected to a cisco switch that handles the layer 2 switching (VLAN). The nic card my FOG server is connected to doesn’t support wake on lan. I have connected a laptop I want to image to the cisco switch and on the same subnet/ VLAN as the FOG server, set the laptop to boot from LAN but doesn’t work (won’t get and IP from DHCP).

I’m I having this problem because the FOG nic card doesn’t support wake on lan and can’t send/ receive magic packets?

PS: I have set the laptop to wake on lan with PXE Boot
