Hi all, Apparently over the weekend the district did something to the network that has disabled Internet access on my thin clients. The server has Internet access, but the clients do not. This is the case across multiple servers so it must be something systemic and it doesn't have to do with any Ubuntu updates because I imaged a server from a working image and it has the same problem.
Anyways, I initially connected my XP laptop to the LTSP network and couldn't get Internet, which means NAT wasn't working. Then I changed to our alternate DNS server address in dhcpd.conf on the server, renewed the DHCP lease on my laptop it gets Internet! I tried it with an Ubuntu laptop and it works too. The clients still don't get Internet though. I thought this might mean the problem was with the first DNS server, but I restarted the DHCP server, restarted the clients with new IP addresses (and I assume the updated DNS server address), and I still have the same problem. If I don't use localapps the Internet works just fine. Finally, it seems like firefox as a localapp is taking way longer to load in the first place than it used to. I'm not sure what would cause this, but if any of you have any insight I'd appreciate it. I'm waiting on a call back from the district and I'd love to know what to ask of them (if anything). Thanks -joe P.S. how do I see what the client's network information is and force a DHCP lease renew? When I use terminal on a client I just see the server's information.
