All of the servers must be listet in the hosts file on every server. Example.. Three servers. One are named LTSP1 with ip 192.168.0.251, the next LTSP2 with ip 192.168.0.252 and finally LTSP3 with ip 192.168.253.. The hosts file for LTSP1 looks like this: (The three last lines) 192.168.0.251 LTSP1 server.ltsp server 192.168.0.252 LTSP2 ws252.ltsp ws252 192.168.0.253 LTSP3 ws253.ltsp ws253 The hosts file for LTSP2 looks like this: 192.168.0.251 LTSP1 ws251.ltsp ws251 192.168.0.252 LTSP2 server.ltsp ws252 192.168.0.253 LTSP3 ws253.ltsp ws253 Finally the hosts file for LTSP3: 192.168.0.251 LTSP1 ws251.ltsp ws251 192.168.0.252 LTSP2 ws252.ltsp ws252 192.168.0.253 LTSP3 server.ltsp ws253 I do not know why OO uses the hosts file, but it looks like it is getting confused if the hosts file are messed up. Anyway.. This solved the problem with the long OO startup time at our school. Kjetil </BODY></HTML>
