I added the workstation IP addresses to the /etc/hosts file. There was no difference in getting the LTSP workstations to boot. If I have a default gateway on the server, they won't boot (and I see rpc.mountd using up a lot of CPU time when viewed by top command). If I take away the default gateway from the server, the workstations boot just fine.
Any other thoughts, suggestions ?
