PXE has been standard on machines for quite a while. How old are the computers in question? Some machines are PXE capable but have it disabled in the BIOS when you buy them. You lose A LOT of the power of FOG if you don’t PXE boot.

I checked the wiki, but didn't see mention of the following....of the three computers I've checked in our building only one had a PXE option. I see that there are disk booting options for PXE out there, but do you have some you suggest or perhaps a different direction around old computers with no PXE? Also the one that did have the PXE option came back with an error when I went to boot and run a memory test. "PXE-E11 ARP Timeout" There was more, but it dissappeared too quick. I think I have the FOG network settings right, but now I wonder. ARP is a router protocol? I aimed FOG at the same router that is in DHCP and is dished out to all our clients.
