Hmm...it shouldn't matter what your thin client's IP address is,
provided that you're getting an IP address on that subnet. Another
possibility is that there's a second DHCP server on that subnet that
isn't configured for the LTSP boot stuff.<br>
<br>
Are you sure you don't have any other DHCP servers on that subnet?<br>
<br>
Also, any way that you can give us the boot messages, even if you have
to hand-type them in yourself, so we can see what's happening before
the failure?<br>
<br>
Thx,<br>
