1st, you should assign static IP to 2nd NIC (connected to the switch), e.g. 192.168.1.1/255.255.255.0 (not 192.168.0.x). > Do any changes or setting need to be made for dhcp settings? 2nd, setup DHCP server for LTSP (/etc/ltsp/dhcpd.conf) according to the IP address above. Now run dhcpd, `/etc/init.d/dhcp3-server start`. > Booting clients, I have read about network booting, but how is it possible > to boot from a cd or from a harddrive? Good starting point is: http://rom-o-matic.net/ Denis > With the setup I have is there any specific setting or changes I should make > following the install?
