hi all , I am fighting for ltsp from last 2 weeks. I have this hardware on server & client 1) Intel 810 eea desktop motherboard 2) onboard sound,display,lan 3) both machines are connected by cross cable. OS 1) mandrake Linux 8.1 2) default dhcp 3.0 3) LTSP rpms ver. 3 now. my machine address is 192.168.1.153 hostname : mandrakeserver.softcell.co.in I have installed dns also which works perfect. My server config is /etc/dhpd.conf

Problem :
when I boot client using floopy from n/w
it gets dhcp server.
it receives ip also.
but shows this error.
Running dhclient
Mounting /opt/ltsp/i386 from : 192.168.1.153
(null)mount: nfsmount failed : Bad file number
NFS : mount program didn't pass remote address
Mount: Mounting 192.168.1.153:/opt/ltsp/i386 on /mnt
failed : Invalid argument
ERROR! Failed to mount the root directory via NFS!
Possible reasons include:
1) NFS services may not be running on server
& so on total 4 options given
I have checked all , every thing is working fine.

thanks in advance .
warm regards,
maheshwar
