[K12OSN] Help a newbie, too many variables...

Hi,

I got back from freegeek with my $20 thin client guinea pig.  It's a gateway
e-1000.  I looked online and the NIC is 10/100, and supports PXE booting.
128megs of ram.  P233.

So, now I'm trying to get my k12ltsp 4.0.1 install working properly.  At
first it wasn't getting an IP addy.  But now it is but the next line on the
bootup screen stalls at
It says:

PXE-EA1:  No PXE Server found, using standard boot file.

tftp . . . .  (and those dots take forever to appear).

Then it says.
TFTP open timeout.
TFTP open timeout .
Exiting PCNet-FAST PXE

I've gone over dhcpd.conf and lts.conf till I'm blue in the face.  I'm
pointing to a real kernel, etc.  But it's not even doing the tftp dance at
all.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

ck
