I'm attempting to boot machines from a server (192.168.1.45) over a network using PXE boot and DNSMasq. My network presently utilizes a DHCP server on a VPN/Firewall, so I don't want to run a DHCP server on the server itself.
When I start the client computer, it seems to connect to the server, but doesn't proceed with a boot. The remote computer just hangs showing "Start PXE over IPv4". The /var/log/messages on the server shows the following. Code: Feb 24 15:10:45 localhost dnsmasq[14487]: started, version 2.48 DNS disabled Feb 24 15:10:45 localhost dnsmasq[14487]: compile time options: IPv6 GNU-getopt DBus no-I18N DHCP TFTP "--bind-interfaces with SO_BIN DTODEVICE" Feb 24 15:10:45 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: DHCP, proxy on subnet 192.168.1.255 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 Available DHCP subnet: 192.168.1.255/255.255.255.0 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 Vendor class: PXEClient:Arch:00007:UNDI:003016 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 PXE(eth0) bc:5f:f4:97:be:ab proxy Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 tags: eth0 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 bootfile name: pxelinux.0 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 next server: 192.168.1.45 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 sent size: 1 option: 53:message-type 02 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 sent size: 4 option: 54:server-identifier 192.168.1.45 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 sent size: 9 option: 60:vendor-class 50:58:45:43:6c:69:65:6e:74 Feb 24 15:11:20 localhost dnsmasq-dhcp[14487]: 3423833039 sent size: 17 option: 97:client-machine-id 00:00:02:00:03:00:04:00:05:00:0 6:00:07...
