I just recently installed a default version of K12LTSP-4.0.1 on my machine. I sit everything behind a Linksys Wireless hub that connects to eth0 for which I have it as dhcp client and it receives (192.168.1.102) from the hub in order to access the internet. I also have eth2 which I made static, per K12LTSP instructions to 192.168.0.254/255.255.255.0. This runs a null cable to the uplink port of my hub which in turn connects my lone test terminal client. I am able to access the internet and when running
service dhcpd status
I get the following:
dhcpd (pid 1066) is running..
Now in configuring my client I have 3Com900b-tp0 card which I made a boot floppy for and upon booting my client pc I receive the following message:
Etherboot 5.0.1 (GPL) Tagged ELF for [3C595]
Found 3Com900B-TPO at 0x100, ROM address 0x0000
Probing....[3C595]utp[*utp]: disable 'auto select' with DOS util! Ethernet address: 00:50:04:72:39:B7
selected utp. (default)
Searching for server (DHCP).....
My question is how do I allow for my lone terminal client to find my dhpc server from the statically assigned card? I have read and browsed the archives for almost 6 hrs trying to find the answer as well as double and triple checked my cable connections and lights. If anyone can help me I would certainly appreciate it. I know it has to be something small that I am overlooking since my client is probing for an address. I also have attached a copy of my dhcpd.conf file as well. If I need to be more specific pleez let me know.
