      And no it's not the BIOS settings of these other machines.

              It has to be the services, because it's back again...

              I'm so close to putting something through the monitor I'm using for this...

                See what doesn't make any sense to me is that I've been imagining pre-built systems all day yesterday.
                So it's got to be something with these desktops...

                Driving me bonkers.

                Reboot to the FOG VM and it runs for 1 more.

                  Can you tell if the Machines are actually getting an IP from the FOG DHCP server or what?

                    I can monitor the dhcpd.leases temp file and see what's going on

                    But I haven't.

                    Because it clearly works. It's got to be the hardware that I'm trying to image.

                      If you have STP enabled on your switches you need to enable portfast or PXE boot will fail.

                      spanning-tree portfast (for Cisco IOS)

                        Bring in another machine and test it?

                        Also, there used to be a CDROM that could PXE boot your computer, so you could use that if your NIC's firmware is being stupid...

                        I think it is this one: http://ipxe.org/

                            @Jason Yeah this is just a dumb switch that I have setup at the moment.

                            So no such functionality to enable or disable.

                              @MattSpeller Cleared the leases file, first thing I thought of.
