I have everything working on port 67 and the plan is to get a working baseline and make my neccessary modifications in increments until if/when something breaks. Im starting to think maybe the LTSP kernel doesnt contain nic drivers for my laptop (Atheros PCIE) or my 2 jammin TC's (unknown nic) That being said, Id still like to try your suggestion, can you give me a little clarification on what you mean by "append the nic,,for mac address,,,x.y.z in the pxe file,,,for each TC " I suspect your referring to /pxelinux.cfg/default ?? sorry if I'm a bit daft.

See if you can find another old pc box with a floppy drive slap in a realtek 8139 pci nic,,for simplicity, and build a couple floppies setup for port 1067 from here: <a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://rom-o-matic.net/">http://rom-o-matic.net/</a> If this setup does in fact boot,a simple guess would be you need to append the nic,,for mac address,,,x.y.z in the pxe file,,,for each TC. This is what appears to be happening to me. Make sure you aren't running a managed switch in between server and TC.
