I have to admit that this is a bit above my pay scale, but you might want to ensure that you've got enough server resources and that they can get through the network: How much RAM is on the server? Is it actually being read during boot? Are your cables, switch and NICs all at least 10/100 mb/s? Again, you might also want to look at syslog during and after the clients boot to see if there's anything strange there. > > also, i didn't realize the clients would be prompted for a password. > how do i set the username and password for the specific clients?
