Hi Doug, we have a gig nic on the server but I think the switches are 
the standard unexpensive kind 10/100 ... and I'm showing my ignorance 
now but I don't know the difference between a switch/hub. I do 
understand that a switch is better, right?

Plus the clients in our mini-lab have to go through three switches 
before reaching the actual pipe that goes into the server. The server 
sits in a small copyroom next to the office (un-airconditioned!), with 
the client eth cord going to a main switch, then one lead goes from that 
  to another big switch in a different block, and that switch has leads 
going to ports in the wall that the clients link to.

I'd love to draw you a picture but I just can't get my head around 
Gimp... macromedia fireworks was my drawing tool and I haven't found a 
linux replacement... I miss it terribly!!

Not sure how this is done on a client booting to the server, but I'd 
love to give it a go. Could you please forward some instructions?
