If you can get the Win DHCP server to not respond to certain MACs
then configuring LTSP server to serve them is trivial. My (Linux) dhcp
server will serve bootp or dhcp: the solution proposed is either not
neccessary (linux will handle some dhcp requests, Win handles the rest)
or needs to be checked that Win won't handle a bootp request.
How about a differant network? Would somebody who understands the win
dhcp throw more light please.
