1.)  Make sure that your DHCP scope and network mask is actually correct 
for your network.  This is really important.

2.)  Make sure that the file vmlinuz-2.4.18-ltsp-1 .TFTP is really 
there, and that it's really named that on your server in your 
/tftpboot/lts directory.  The " .TFTP" concerns me.  On my server, the 
file is named "vmlinuz-2.4.19-ltsp-1", with no " .TFTP" at the end of 
it, both in my DHCP server's config and in the server's /tftpboot/lts 
directory.  Can you also take a look at your DHCP server config to make 
sure that the file names match in both places?  If they do, you might 
consider getting rid of that " .TFTP" in both places anyway, since I 
don't know if spaces in filenames are TFTP-friendly anyway.  They might 
be, but I've just not tried it.
