I never picked up that local apps was not the same as fat client. So I
looked up local apps and it has this:
If you are using a 2-interface LTSP setup, a thin client will probably not
be able to get to the internet using local apps. The solution is to set
your LTSP server up as a router so you can access the internet through it.
Some instructions are available at:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ThinClientHowtoNAT/
-> If you are using a 2-interface LTSP setup
Means if I am running two nic cards? Yes I am, so in order to run FF
locally do I have to install NAT?
