Yes, the Windows machines can get their IP addresses from the K12 server with no ill
effects; they just ignore all the info that's provided for the thin clients. Make sure
you only have one DHCP server on any given network segment. If your K12 server is
providing addresses on the same network as some other DHCP server you will have major
problems. K12 is designed to have two network cards in the server: one to connect to
the existing network, and the other to connect to the thin clients. The DHCP server
only provides addresses on the thin client segment. If you have Windows boxes on this
segment, they'll be just fine as mentioned above.
