Hi Paulo! The only thing you need to have is Java 6 and DHCP server which will assign IP address to the thin client. If your server is on MS platform, you can try to use the DHCP provided by Microsoft, or if you don't have DHCP included you can download a free version from here: http://tftpd32.jounin.net/tftpd32.html. After you configured your DHCP server, run the OpenThinClient server. This server only includes extension to DHCP, not the DHCP server completely. Regarding TFTP, don't worry, it's included in the server. So if you configured settings using OpenThinClient Manager, at the first startup of the thin client, you will see that it appears in the list of PXE request, after which you can convert it to thin client and woola! At the next restart your Thin Client will boot the OpenThinClient OS.

Hi, I'm testing openthinclient for a brazilian federal bank and I'm confuse about booting process. I followed the instructions available on project web site, but it does not describe how do I must setup my dhcp and tftp servers to achieve network boot trough PXE. I need a dhcp server or openthinclient includes one? What's next server and filename that I should setup in my DHCP server? What is the tftp root directory? I must provide a "default" file in pxelinux.cfg directory? OpenThinClient seems to be a great solution! Congratulations!
