@Tom-Elliott

I ran the command.
stop: unknown instance:
tftpd-hpa start/running, process 25705

Here is another pic of the PXE boot.

Do I need a TFTP config in DHCPD.conf? It looks like I’m getting an IP during PXE then it stops at TFTP?

@Tom-Elliott I’m using an OptiPlex 990 now, I can’t tell if its getting an IP or not the screen goes too fast, I even recorded it with my phone and I can’t get it to stay on the frame of when it shows the IP info. Uploading the video to my PC to see if I can do it from there.

@Tom-Elliott The 1st PC I was usin (OptiPlex 755) was getting an IP during PXE boot but not getting the menu. I’m now using a Lenovo Tiny M92p and I can’t get an IP during PXE. I’m going to setup a different OptiPlex and see if its the client itself… Did my DHCP config file look okay to you?

@Tom-Elliott I know lowercase l, invalid option still…

@Quazz Still getting the same thing with the L. I do a sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart and it returns

isc-dhcp-server stop/waiting
isc-dhcp-server start/running, process 24950

I assume its running?

@Quazz I get invalid option -1 for this

@Quazz The OptiPlex is no longer in the picture at the moment. DHCP is handing out IPs. When I boot to Windows I can get one.

Changed the netmask and it didn’t change anything. Still unable to get an IP during PXE boot. ;(

@Tom-Elliott I’ve made sure the DHCP service is running, and can test it is by booting into Windows and getting an IP address from it. Could it have something to do with the BIOS of the client ? I was using an OptiPlex 755 and that would get an IP but then not load the FOG menu. Now I’m using the device I actually want to start imaging and I can’t get an IP during the PXE boot. Yes FOG’s IP is 10.10.73.65.

During the install it said I should be connected to the internet, that is the IP our Windows DHCP server gave FOG. After it was setup I disconnected it from our main network and kept the IP address, I figure that shouldn’t matter. Its set to static. This is the server’s IP settings…but looking at that it could be the netmasks messing things up?

@Tom-Elliott Where do I go to modify the DHCP server on Ubuntu? Once again, I have 1 DHCP server and 1 Client connected using 1 switch on an isolated network (this one switch.) Unfortunately I’ve never dealt with networking stuff on Linux until today. Is it the dhcpd.conf file?

If so this is what it reads.

The firewall thing didn’t change anything. I’m not getting a DHCP address when booting to PXE at all now using the Lenovo. I was with the Dell…I get one when logging into Windows. I’m guessing the dhcp server isn’t configured correctly… I’ll look into doing the

Linux (ISC/DNSMASQ) dhcp servers next-server = fogserver IP, filename = bootfilename (usually undionly.kpxe in 1.x.x and pxelinlux.0)?

@Tom-Elliott That command worked. I’ll see if I can get anything now. unfortunately I’m not using a KVM switch/splitter so I have to keep disconnecting the mouse and monitor. Are you going to be around for the next 20 minutes? I can keep this updated or does FOG have any chats? I’d really like to get this working today. We currently use very old Ghostcast server and I won’t have time to setup SCCM until summertime, so I’m hoping the reviews on Spiceworks about this is are true.

@Tom-Elliott I’m using the FOG server as DHCP. If that means I’m using FOG as DHCP, then yes. Once again, this is all on one switch. The only things connected to the switch is the FOG Server (Ubuntu 12.04, FOG 1.2.0) and a Lenovo M92p which I’m using as the client. Originally I had an OptiPlex 755 but I had to give that to someone. The OptiPlex 755 was the one that I could get an IP during PXE, the Lenovo I can not. When I boot the Lenovo up to Windows 7 it will grab an IP. The switch is not connected to anything else, not even the Internet, during the install process of FOG I had the server connected to the Internet, after it was installed I removed the Internet connection.

@Quazz No. I’m using a switch that isn’t connected to anything but the FOG server and the client machine I’m working with to try to test imaging. When I boot to Windows on the client I can get an IP.

@mikepel Actually when I boot into Windows 7 I get an IP so DHCP must be working.

When I try with a different PC I can’t get an IP address…hmm

It seems to be getting an IP address…
but after that it says

!PXE at 9A85:0070 entry point at 9A85:0106
UNDI code segment 9A85:4120 data segment 9452:6330 (593-635kB)
UNDI device is PCI 00:19.0 type DIX+802.3

When I go to dhcpd.lease I see a few things that look like leases…
