@george1421 I have added the interface.

However, there is one interesting thing I think I must share. I tried to capture packets and pxe boot again after setting target computer to assign IP addresses automatically. Tcpdump or tshark both don’t capture the packets again however when I recheck my dhcp-server status again, this is what I get.

I don’t understand what this really means but I am hopeful this can be useful. Note that at this point both machines have the same IP.

@sebastian-roth Yes, both are VMs on a Virtualbox, and their network is set to NAT.

@george1421 I tried both with the dynamic and static IP addresses on the windows machine (the one I am trying to pxe boot).

I am running tcpdump on the FOG server (which I set up on my ubuntu machine) and the pxebooting target computer is on the same subnet.

@sebastian-roth Tried tcpdump just now, still empty!

@george1421 I manually set a static ip address for my windows machine. Now the settings are ip: 10.02.16, subnet mask: 255.255.255.0, and the defualt gateway is 10.0.2.2.

I am using following tshark command to capture the packets before network boot the windows machine.

tshark -i enp0s3 -f “port 67 or port 68 or port 69 or port 4011” -w /tmp/dhcp.pcap

and the .pcap file is empty.

Even before changing from assigning IP address automatically to static the result was the same.

@george1421 Thank you for the guidance. I am working on it, will get back to you shortly.

@sebastian-roth I don’t get this part either as there is no other dhcp server. I have hardly configured this one. And this windows machine also has the same ip address as of my Ubuntu machine on which the fog server is running.

@george1421 Thank you for the response. I figured I was assigning a wrong subnet. Now my isc-dhcp server is all set and running. I have also checked your shared link and added those settings to my dhcpd.conf file. It’s all fine now.

However, I am still getting the same error at windows while i try to pxe boot into it, you can notice the filename and next-server here

Thanks again!

Hi,

I am totally new to Ubuntu and FOG project, so please don’t mind if this is something very basic. I will appreciate your help.

I have installed and successfully log-in to the Fog dashboard. however, I am unable to configure dhcp.conf file after installing isc-dhcp-server. Here is how my dhcp.conf file looks like this, the rest of the file is commented:

The blurred part is the fog server IP address.

Now, this is the error when I restart the iso-dhcp-server.
