Perhaps I should clarify. The setting is a classroom. The thin clients are all all plug into a switch to which the LTSP server is also connected. The clients are separated from the rest of our network by the server, i.e., the server acts as the gateway relative to the clients (yes, I know the applications run on the server) Stock setup. Sometimes people bring other computers into the classroom, e.g., a laptop running Windows. They get an IP, DNS, and GW from the LTSP server's DHCP. But any traffic from them has to go through the LTSP server obviously, which means some sort of forwarding or masquerading must be enabled on the server. This is the part that isn't working. So, it seems to me that something on the server needs to be changed so that it NATs/masquerades the traffic from those fat clients. They are not running apps on the server, just using its DHCP services.
