That shouldn't be a problem, but one thing you may need is a DHCP server on your "gateway" side that can tell the virtual terminal where to boot from and where to mount it's home directory (and where to connect to X). First make sure that the tftp service and NFS will allow addresses on both nets (/etc/hosts.allow for portmap and tftpd and /etc/exports for NFS). Then configure the DHCP server (on the gateway side) to send boot and root info to the virtual terminal. This assumes the virtual terminal is on the "bridged" interface in VMWare. If you don't have control of that DHCP server, it might be possible to put your virtual terminal on the "NAT" interface and use VMWare's dhcp server to feed this info to the virtual terminal. > Antony Gelberg wrote: > > bill wrote: > >> Currently have a two nic setup using ubuntu and LTSP5.
