[K12OSN] Network specialist foes: rice bet

[Doug Simpson]

Make sure there are two NICs in the server, and make sure the thin clients 
are connected to a switch that is *only* connected to the one NIC on the 
server that it's DHCP is bound to. The other NIC in the server goes to the 
switch for the rest of the network, and it should get it's IP from the 
existing network's DHCP server.

No more problems. . .
