Thanks for the suggestions, letting the client see what windows server wants it to see seems the best idea! I don't really want to live with the Windows solution.... eventually I want to transfer the bulk of my server activities over to linux... it was just a quick (?!) fix.
The DHCP on the LTSP server I have set up seems extremely unreliable. It all works fine for several client requests, then appears to just die. The logs on the server show several DHCPDISCOVER and DHCPOFFER messages for the clients, but the clients just don't seem to be getting these, as they sit with the "searching for server (DHCP)" message. I've tried restarting the dhcp service, and indeed any network related services, to no avail. The only remedy is to reboot the machine. This is far too reminiscent of windows for my liking - and not stable enough for serving the entire network! In addition, my clients infrequently get stuck waiting for an nfs server, which they never get and eventually give up! Again, the only solution seems to be a server reboot! Could this be anything blindingly obvious? Any ideas much appreciated!! >> From: Martin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 10:28:31 -0000 >> >> Made the change as suggested... it now goes to the correct >>server...
