[K12OSN] FC3 woes ... some clients can't find DHCP server

[Steve Hargadon]

So, don't give up on that software, Richard.  It took me some time,
but I have come to really appreciate it.  The free workstation manager
solves a lot of problems for me, including sound!

If you changed the default setting in Symbiont, it doesn't let a
workstation log on until you invite it to.  Which is really handy for
a large install, since it tells you what machines by mac address are
trying to log on as you boot them up one by one.
