I may have read your post too quickly, so if after you confirm the settings according to the wiki page, you still have issues we can debug using a packet capture. If the fog server and the pxe booting computer is on the same subnet, please use this tutorial to capture the best quality pcap. https://forums.fogproject.org/topic/9673/when-dhcp-pxe-booting-process-goes-bad-and-you-have-no-clue

The pcap will show us what the target computer is being told to do.

If your pxe booting compute is on a different subnet then install wireshark on a witness computer (second computer not part of the pxe booting process). Use the wireshark capture filter of port 67 or port 68 to only capture the pxe boot.

Post the pcap to a file share site (like google drive) and either post the link in the thread or IM me the link and I will take a look at what the client is being told.

I see thank you for explaining that.

I don’t know what’s causing the “trailing” tasks yet, though I hope to find it soon. It seems to be a very specific set of circumstances that causes it, though I don’t know what that set of circumstances actually is.

Thank you for the advise, I’ll keep that in mind.

@Wayne-Workman Thank you, sorry I missed this article when I looked for answers earlier.

@Wayne-Workman Thank you for taking the time to look into this, and I’ll just chalk it up to weird things that happens to me. Thank you for all your efforts and advise.
