Hi Lukas, It seems you are using generic pxe, not gpxe or similar. I used a comparable configuration (dnsmasq as proxy), but did first overload the pxe with ipxe (www.ipxe.org, gpxe is a zombie). Maybe your generic pxe implementation doesnt support different pxe-boot-server?
Nevertheless, the The IP 192.168.1.45 should be the IP of the machine that runs DNSMASQ. So, dhcp-range=192.168.1.45,proxy Hth Oliver Am 25.02.2014 15:10, schrieb Lukas Bradley: > I'm attempting to boot machines from a server (192.168.1.45) over a > network using PXE boot and DNSMasq.
