I know you can server you linux clients with the 2k DHCP but I haven't
figured it out when I tried to serve my Diskless WS's from my NT box it
never seemed to get the right parameters so I gave up on that and made my
linux box the DHCP server.
NE1else?

Subject: [Ltsp-discuss] Question from a new list member!
Hello. I just signed up for this mailing list last night, and I'm very
interested in the LTSP project as a solution to getting more use out of some
older PCs in my workplace.
I have one question/issue, though, which I couldn't find any reference to.
Our environment is currently Windows 2000 with some Windows NT 4.0
workstations. A Windows 2000 server is set up to do DHCP for us. What I
wanted to do was build a new box with RedHat 7.1 as the LTSP server, and
then set up specific, older machines so they network boot from it into X and
automatically launch the Citrix "Program Neighborhood" client for Linux.
(This way, they're effectively turned into thin clients that can use our
Citrix Metaframe server to work in a Windows 2000 environment.)
It seems that if I build the RedHat LTSP server, it will conflict with our
Windows 2000 DHCP server though, since both systems will be trying to issue
IP addresses to any client that requests one. (It's not an option for me to
turn off DHCP on the Windows 2000 box and let the Linux box do all of the
DHCP work instead. Our server admin would not appreciate that, to say the
least.)
Is it feasible to shut off DHCP on the Linux box completely, and let the
net-booting clients grab IP addresses from our 2000 DHCP server - or will
this prevent them from properly starting the TFTP session and booting from
the Linux box afterwards?
Thanks!
