Why not have your tftp server for the thin clients on the LTSP server. Then Your win server needs only handle dhcp. Depending on your distro NFS is not used, the LTSP server is also the NBD server. Your win dhcp needs to say 'next-server' if it can't you can put the LTSP dhcp server on the LTSP server and have it respond ONLY to mac addresses. The thin client won't boot on the wrong DHCP servers info, but I saw it boot by the second try. If you are trying to run LTSP without a LTSP srver, he he forget it James ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SF.Net email is Sponsored by MIX09, March 18-20, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
