[Ltsp-discuss] dhcpd.conf for ThinkNICs

2002-03-01 Thread mslicker
I tried using the dhcpd.conf linked in the contribs section for booting ThinkNICs by means of PXE. It doesn't work.. I don't even get dhcp. Prior to this, my LTSP terminal based on a Boot ROM was working fine. I tried putting in just the lines pertaining to the ThinkNIC to this working dhcpd.

David, I suspect that is part of a security measure. Because TFTP is udp based, and that is "connectionless", my guess is that tftpd is doing a DNS lookup for every single block that the client requests. If you ran Ethereal on that network segment, you'd be able to see what is happening. Jim.

Mike, There is probably a DiskOnChip or Flash Disk module inside the Winterm. There may also be a floppy or ide header inside the unit, on the motherboard. This is probably unlikely though. If it is a DiskOnChip from M-Systems, you will need either a DOC programmer card that can be inserted in

How do people normally logout/shutdown LTSP terminals? So far, with just the one Book PC displaying GNOME, I notice that logging out and switching off the terminal often prevents logging in again, depending on whether the server is a) waiting for login or b) logged in to a GNOME session. Thanks

Many thanks for the rapid replies. It was easiest to insert 64Mb RAM, and the Book PC works fine on that. Still very noisy though, that's probably what killed it as a "Home Entertainment Centre". I'll try the other suggestions when using up the leftover 32Mb RAM! John ___
