Well I apologize for such a long winded cry for help. It was power
related; somehow it reset parts of my switches settings but not all.
Figured it all out and with the help of an intern actually and some luck
(My guess is an unexpected server reset) they no longer have to type
domain+username, and the printer is working. Not to mention I no longer
have to use CLI on my Cisco switches.

A couple of the changes did bring up a new issue though. I need to make
sure the server does not try to hand out 192.168.0.250-255. I need to
reserve those for switches and printer. Do I need to do that? Or since
they are set statically will I be ok.

Subject: [K12OSN] dhcpd failed!

I come back this morning to find a couple servers off and the center
island of my LTSP lab not working. I have the server the terminals using
a Cisco 2950, and I have 10 more terminals connected to another Cisco
2950 which is connected gig to the other Cisco. All the ports had been
set to spanning-tree port fast on both to get them to boot originally,
and from what I can tell still are on the island. Nothing has changed
that I can tell, and I'm on a terminal right now. I'm assuming it is the
switch but I'm unsure what to do. They boot till they get to the line 
input: ImPS/2 Logitech Wheel Mouse as /class/input/input1
above that it has 
Running dhcpd on port 67
e100: eth0: e100_watchdog: link up, 100Mbps, full-duplex

I just reset on of the terminals connected to the first cisco and it is
fine, so I'm stumped. I'll continue to see what I can do with this
switch but I may go get a temp for now. Thanks in advance for any advice
and help.
