I am finally making progress. After not getting anywhere with my Mandrake/LTSP install, I decided to download the Mandrake Terminal Services package from the Mandrake cooker. It is similar to LTSP except that it uses cluster NFS and they have a gui to help you configure the server and create boot disks. Still no boot at the workstation. It grabs an ip address from dhcp and tries to load the kernel and just sits there with "...(NBI)... ......." just like LTSP. At this point I was pretty sure that I had gone over the server and ruled out any problems there. ( Thanks to Anselm and Pedro) So I decided to make a boot disk for the firewall/proxy computer and see if it would boot. It worked!
I don't know what is wrong with the other machine. I assume it is a problem with the nic. It has a realtek 8139too chip. Like I was saying it is detected and grabs an ip address but will not load the kernel. I think that I may go back to the LTSP and compare it to the Mandrake Terminal Services. I noticed that KDE was rather slow with Mandrake Terminal Services, but Icewm was snappy. Thanks for all the help!
