Not really sure what you mean...

You want to use your server to pxe boot thin clients?

yep

Freenas should be just the storage for your images, not the dhcp server which is responsible for dishing out the info needed to direct clients to the storage. If you don't have any other storage to use and don't have a decent router/switch, then you could setup a jail with the required software...

all you really need is a dhcp server that can tell pxe clients to look for the right file on a server (TFTP)

do you have the pxe boot images somewhere?
where is your DHCP server in your network?

 

[Knogle]

my router i think

I'll tell you that every home router I've seen or owned does not support the PXE booting DHCP entries you will need. I use pfsense, and it apparently supports it, but I've never done it.

do you know a tutorial for pfsense?

 

[cyberjock]

Nope. Had to spend a few days reading the manual and forums, then trying to build it and get it all working.

Did you try this in a jail?

You keep saying things don't work, yet haven't actually provided details on what you have tried.

yes i did but i told me that a lsb package is needed but its installed..

I'm working on this.. The jails currently aren't with the appropriate LSB.. I didn't expect an Ubuntu jail to actually be everything.. Hamachi is a future project but it should be do-able..
