I think you need to include it in plain text.

He found that by placing the DHCP server on a different machine the issue went away. I'd guess there's an issue with the standard dhcp server on ubuntu. http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_name=A1777BE3AA0AB44ABADA6FF66BA594ED6C358F0F61%40vkex.vindeln.se&forum_name=ltsp-discuss If you want to get this going, I'd suggest a dhcp server on another machine (it worked for Lars). If you have time to try it, it would be great if you could try to put a different dhcp server (udhcpd or dnsmasq) on the thin client server. > Way too tricky for people used to switch on a general button and have all the > PCs running (OK, WindowsME, but) > What about a router ?

I know it's slow, but we'll get it fixed. Gavin -- edubuntu-users mailing list [email protected] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/edubuntu-users
