With the big release of 9.10 Karmic coming, I decided to install the
LTSP version from a fresh burnt install CD of Ubuntu 9.10

I got further out the door than trying to use it with 9.04 (which wouldn't give 
me any internet for the server what so ever)
LTSP on Ubuntu 9.10 Beta at least allowed me to boot to the desktop with 
internet the first try. So I did my hardware driver and updates install, which 
both required a reboot. Unfortunately upon reboot, my inter net was gone like 
9.04 was doing to me. Tried a couple reboots but nothing changed.

So I started searching around the net from Windows and had come across a
page that had some things close to what was happening to me and wrote
down some Terminal commands to take back to Ubuntu and try.

Things I tried:
route -n
route add default gateway 192.168.0.1

Last but not, I did a gedit from root and added two command lines to 
/etc/network/interfaces file and did a SEARCH > REPLACE all instances of 
192.168.0 with 192.168.100 while editting the /etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf file.
The two lines I added under auto eth1 section: gateway=192.168.0.1 and 
gatewaydev=eth1

After that I did a reboot and I now am updating this from Ubuntu. Not
sure what in there actually did the trick, but from what I was reading
on the posts, it would seem that the network settings that are setup
during install are missing a little something. I figure it's either with
the specific device chosen during install or the network bridge that
gets built.

This is now what my interfaces file looks like:

# This file describes the network interfaces available on your system
# and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5).

# The loopback network interface
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback

# The primary network interface
auto eth1
gateway=192.168.0.1
gatewaydev=eth1
#iface eth1 inet dhcp

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
    address 192.168.0.254
    netmask 255.255.255.0
    network 192.168.0.0
    broadcast 192.168.0.255

Next I'll have to see if I can get the thin client side up and running.
