This is on the client, not the server.

...it does look like you could do with a *lot* of updating (your setup is
probably 2 years old?), but that won't stop anything working.

So is bootp is talking to your box? Looks like it.That's good, as the old
DEC Tulip cards were always a real pig to set up, and there's loads of
slightly different versions out there!

If you've got this far, it's often an X problem, and you need to
specifically configure for the hardware. Does the screen flash at all?

Can you post your /etc/dhcp.conf and
/opt/ltsp/i386/...(forgotten!)/etc/ltsp.conf - that way we can check to
see if it's a networking problem as well?

Cheers,

Steve
