The nic doesnt have to be first. On a dell be at the machine ir have the user there and hit f12 and select nic as boot device. Ensure you also have the latest bios.

AFAIK, you only have two options. Either dhcp server or a client that will allow you to modify pxe in bios. Problem is that this starts pre-OS. You need some way of handing out ips to specific macs before the OS even loads.

Something similar to what webmin has. I mean if your software is going to go so far as ask if I want one installed, we might as well manage it from fog. Also fog seems to be quite a bit more than a cloning server. Why not?

Check /etc/hosts for your hostname.
Check /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf or other apache conf file for this directive:
ServerName [url=“http://www.example.com:80”]www.example.com:80[/url]
Check /etc/sysconfig/network for the :
HOSTNAME= xxxxxx directive

Somewhere you haven’t defined your machines hostname and apache is saying, “ok fine, we’re ‘localhost’ then . . .”

It could use some cleaning, but this is the jist.
