Is that supposed to be called 'localhost'? Seems odd. Assuming its LTSP client -> LTSP server traffic (and not localhost -> localhost), read on: If your workstation recovers from this message (ie. continues booting), it is a networking problem: * Check for lots of collisions or broken packets. 1% is okay. 50% isn't. * Check for duplicate ARP responses. I've had a LTSP server with both cards plugged into the same hub. The result was that both cards responded with ARPs for both IP numbers of the server, causing some workstations to get confused. Depended on which card was physically closer in the stack of 5 switches. I suppose a cluster could cause this too, if both respond with ARPs. * Check if the network card is seated properly. If it isn't seated properly, it won't make proper contact with the PCI slots, and you'll get random garbage. I've actually had a card like this that would do ICMP, but not TCP :). > I'm using ltsp 3 on a biostar m7vkq with > 128mb.
