Hi Ian, Samba works because it uses NetBEUI over TCP. TCP will check for successful delivery of data packet. If not, it will retransmit again until it time out.
Whereas LTSP uses TFTP; which uses UDP; for the initial download of kernel image. UDP will not check for successful data packet transmission; it just transmit and forget. You can read all bout them TCP and UCP at http://www.rfc-editor.org/ . :-) rgds, kenny.leecc > -----Original Message----- > From: Ian Trider [mailto:iantri@;gmx.net] > Sent: Tuesday, October 29, 2002 04:29 > To: LeeCC, Kenny > Subject: Re[2]: [Ltsp-discuss] Loading kernel > > > Hello Kenny, > > Sunday, October 27, 2002, 9:52:48 PM, you wrote: > > LK> you might want to set the duplex mode to auto detect on > the workstation and server NICs and switches. > > LK> Some NICs just doesn't work properly with some switches. > I had a problem before with eepro100 NICS and Cisco29XX > switches on full-duplex mode but once is on auto-detect mode > and it worked like a > LK> charm.
