You had mentioned a fog dns name for option 66.  Try putting the IP in there 
instead to be safe.

I just got the PXE e11 error after moving my fog server to a new physical 
location.  I forgot to plug the network cable in and it spit that error out at 
me.  So sounds like your clients aren't finding your FOG server.  You may want 
to make sure its address didn't change.

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.

thanks for the help guys!

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.

Thanks for all the help,
Scott

Yes, it is by default, you could off load that service to another
machine, but we make it a tftp server by default.
