[K12OSN] Window Clients can't get past the Linux Server

[jones yeates]

I am using a floppy to boot onto the LTSP server.  It is working fine.  The 
clients can log in and access the Internet. =]

When the client doesn't boot from the floppy, it loads up Windows (2000).  
It is unable to find the "tree server" to authenticate the Windows user.  
However, if I say "Yes" to work on the Window's desktop, I can access the 
Internet.

On the Fedora Core 5 server that is running K12LTSP, I tried:
	#echo 1 >  /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward
and that took care of the Windows client being able to access the Internet.

I tried:
	#chkconfig --levels 345 transparent-proxying on
and there was no change so I entered
	#chkconfig --levels 345 transparent-proxying off

I restarted the server, for another attempt at solving this.
I turned off the firewall, installed and ran squid.  I made the changes 
discussed in http://www.redhat.com/archives/k12osn/2007-August/msg00221.html 
but it failed to #service squid restart.  I removed the transparent value 
and #service squid restart worked fine.

I tried
	#chkconfig --levels 345 transparent-proxying on
again.  This time it couldn't be found.  I listed all the values for 
chkconfig and it wasn't on the list.  I am not sure how I removed that item, 
is there a way I can get it back?

Below is what the ipconfig looks like on the Window's client.

As a Windows client, I am able to ping outside of the 192.168.0.0 LAN and 
onto the school's regular network.  I believe nat is working because I can 
access the Internet on the Window's client.


I am not sure what else to try.  The transparent thing is my only guess.
