This of course excludes the case where, between the two stations, a
non-controllable link does not route dhcp. This will most probably
happen if ppp is involved, as well as situations with any
other-company-controlled routers.

-v, please. Why is it "advisable" to have a slow(er) link?

That's what I assumed. A pity that I only have Asymmeric DSL, so a
test would yet fail because of lacking upstream bandwith.
VNC is a bit sluggish with 128kbit upstream (server side) from the
university pool (10MBit), I think "native X" protocol will pull speed
down even more.

Then booting would have to be configured. Of course, at high speed
links, there is no problems. Even 10MBit is enough, I'm sure on 2MBit
you could work without problems. If they don't have to be shared with
bandwith-consuming stuff like eMule/KaZaa downloads, that is ;-)
