Actually, I haven't even gotten this far yet. I'm still stuck because we use Windows 2000 as our DHCP server. Apparently, Win 2000 doesn't have the ability to exclude specific machines from receiving a DHCP address by their MAC address. Since I can't do this, and our company won't let me switch all DHCP services over to a Linux server - it pretty much makes it impossible for me to proceed with using the LTSP project in our environment.
(I've already received the suggestion of placing the LTSP systems on their own independent network or LAN segment. This isn't realistic for our environment. We have a structured cabling system with 10/100 ethernet already, and we need the ability to swap a standard Win 2000 PC or a LTSP thin-client booting to Citrix at will, using the same wall ports.) Right now, I'm working on an alternate plan. I installed a freeware version of DOS (www.freedos.org) on our old PCs, and set up the DOS Citrix client on them. After I get a particular configuration of PC working in this manner, I use Norton Ghost to make a disk image of it. Then I can clone it to all the other PCs of the same type. This isn't perfect, because it still relies on each PC having a working hard drive. Still, this may be the most efficient way I can convert these old PCs into pseudo thin-clients. - Tom -----Original Message----- From: Abraham Pearson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Sunday, September 30, 2001 9:37 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Launch the Citrix Client instead of XDM Tom Wyrick, I also am trying to configure LTSP to automatically launch the Citrix Client.
