Thanks for your "explain-ful" mail, mat.
But here's my situation : I have lots of workstation that are exactly the
same (we had in our school 2 rooms with the very same PC). Then I wonder if
it's possible to define an IP Range adress to set my ltsp workstations Ip
adress.
I know it's possible to define a mac adress for each workstation, but as
they are the same, I just wonder if there is a simplier solution.
Regards,
Remi.
