Check /var/log/messages on the server while you boot the workstation.
It should show an attempt by the network card on the thin-client to
boot. If it shows the MAC address that is trying, but no DHCP OFFER
from the server, you may be using an older ISA network card. In such
cases you will need to specify the network card in the DHCP server like
so:
First this would need to be at the top of your dhcpd.conf file:
option option-128 code 128 = string;
option option-129 code 129 = text;
Next, you would need something like this to specify the card in the
workstation definition section:
host ws001 {
hardware ethernet 00:20:AF:32:FB:43;
fixed-address 192.168.3.10;
filename "lts/vmlinuz.3c509";
option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00;
option option-129 "NIC=3c509";
}
If you aren't getting an attempt from the workstation, then there may be
something wrong with your boot floppy or network card.
