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.

Does FOG server require nic card to support Wake on Lan for other hosts to recognize?posted in FOG Problems
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
