Hi,

after I installed LTSP on my SuSE 8.1 machine successfully, I have some 
problems when trying to boot over my network.
I have a RTL8139 chip on my network-card, but no ROM. So I generated a 
boot-ROM on www.rom-o-matic.net with a boot-header for disks. Then I wrote 
this on a disk.
When I try to boot from the disk, everything is OK, but when he sends a 
DHCP-signal to the network, a point "." is shown... after afew seconds 
another one... but nothing else happens.
Here's the /var/log/messages from my server:

Dec 12 14:13:08 linux dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c1:26:0b:1f:e8 via eth0: 
network WORKSTATIONS: no free 
leases
Dec 12 14:13:39 linux last message repeated 2 times
Dec 12 14:14:19 linux dhcpd: DHCPDISCOVER from 00:c1:26:0b:1f:e8 via eth0: 
network WORKSTATIONS: no free
leases

I looked at the DHCP configuration but everything looks fine:

# Sample configuration file for ISCD dhcpd
#
# Don't forget to set run_dhcpd=1 in /etc/init.d/dhcpd
# once you adjusted this file and copied it to /etc/dhcpd.conf.
#

ddns-update-style             ad-hoc;
default-lease-time            21600; #600
max-lease-time                21600; #7200

option subnet-mask            255.255.255.0;
option broadcast-address      192.168.0.255;
option routers                192.168.0.254;
option domain-name-servers    192.168.0.254;
option domain-name            "ltsp-server";
option root-path              "192.168.0.254:/opt/ltsp/i386";

option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;

###
log-facility local7;
###

shared-network WORKSTATIONS {
    subnet 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
    }
}

group   {
    use-host-decl-names       on;
    option log-servers        192.168.0.254;

    host ws001 {
        hardware ethernet     00:E0:06:E8:00:84;
        fixed-address         192.168.0.3;
        filename              "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6";
        option option-128     e4:45:74:68:00:00;
        option option-129     "NIC=eepro100";
    }
    host ws002 {
        hardware ethernet     00:D0:09:30:6A:1C;
        fixed-address         192.168.0.4;
        filename              "/lts/vmlinuz-2.4.9-ltsp-6";
        option option-128     e4:45:74:68:00:00;
        option option-129     "NIC=tulip";
    }
}


I used the fixed addresses 192.168.0.3 and .4, because in my local network 
192.168.0.1 is my main machine and 192.168.0.2 is my notebook.
The ddns-update-style should be adhoc, as a SuSE-error-message told me before.

No other hints in the manual of LTSPand in Googlegroups could solve the 
problem.

Thanks a lot for any help!
