@george1421 Hi! I’ve received a shipment of the laptops I am using this for, and for whatever reason those ones are booting from FOG properly. The computers I was testing on (which have the same BIOS software) did not boot from it. I am guessing that this was due to some BIOS configuration error on my part, as the computers have the same BIOS. Thanks for your help, though!

Both computers that are connected via Ethernet have ASUS motherboards which have the PXE option for both IPv4 and IPv6 enabled. When I spam F8 while booting, no PXE boot option displays.

When I’ve previously done this with Clonezilla, the laptops I was using only showed the actual option when Clonezilla server was running on a device on the network. So I’m assuming the computers I’m testing with work similarly to this.

@george1421 I also tried switching to the router’s DHCP server, but that did not work.

@george1421 I’ve followed that exactly and rebooted the FOG server but there is still no option showing up in the BIOS. I do have the Network Boot option enabled in the BIOS of the devices I’m trying this with.

Yes, this is at home. I have been using the Pi for DHCP because it gives extra statistics and has more options than the router’s DHCP server. If possible it would be preferable to keep using that. Would it be possible to use the Pi’s DHCP and still use FOG in DHCP proxy mode?

Hi! I’m very new to this, so it’s probably a simple mistake but I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I’ve previously imaged laptops using Clonezilla Lite Server, which does not require any DHCP configuration, but does less than FOG. I purchased a server for hosting FOG, which arrived today. I am using a Raspberry Pi running Pi-Hole (which uses dnsmasq) as my DHCP server. I have created a file in /etc/dnsmasq.d/10-TFTP.conf (FOG server IP is 69.69.69.151, DHCP is 69.69.69.36, gateway is 69.69.69.69):

dhcp-boot=undionly.kpxe,,69.69.69.151

I have also (unsuccessfully) tried to do this with ProxyDHCP but that did not work either. Since I am completely new to this, it is probably something dumb I’m doing wrong. Thanks for your help.
