Eduardo, Thank you. But I have actually tried that already. The problem seems to be that I have my dhcpd server for LTSP and a Firewall providing dhcpd for the windows and wireless clients.
I have also found that they seem to request an IP once more right after a user logs in. The reason I know is I have tried administering the thin client before a person logs in and after using ltspinfo, I am able to restart that client before anyone logs in, while its at the login screen. Also, upon running last | grep still | uniq, I find that the client IP has changed after they login. I have actually solved my problem already by manually specifying the thin clients in the second dhcp server, but I wanted to reply to this in hopes that someone is able to confirm whether or not the thin clients request dhcp at that time, and maybe how to change that? Thank you for your help!

First of all, it is important to say that the thin clients do DHCP requests at least two times: one during the boot, before getting the bootstrap file and the kernel via TFTP and other, during the boot process, when starting the network(ing) script. What happens is that physically, you have two DHCP servers. And when you get in such a situation, it is a must to: - use fixed addresses for your clients; - ignore unknown clients; There is an option in dhcpd that ignores unknown clients, take a look at the manual (man dhcpd.conf) and search for ignore. -- Eduardo Costa Lisboa ------------------------------------------------------------------------ - Take Surveys.
