I'm trying to move from an ltsp network running on an old Redhat 7.1 based server to a Libranet 2.8.1 based server and ltsp-3.0. The hardware (server and workstations) are not changing. My workstations all have the same ISA NE2000 network cards purchased from DisklessWorkstations.com back in 1999. I'm trying to use Jason Pattie's trick of 'Etherboot loading Etherboot', but tftpd is choking trying to load ne2000.rom.nbi.
When I try to boot a workstation, /var/log/daemon.log says V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V Feb 22 21:00:00 XXXX in.tftpd[1021]: connect from 192.168.0.13 Feb 22 21:00:00 XXXX tftpd[1022]: tftpd: trying to get file: /tftpboot/lts/ne2000.rom.nbi ^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^-^ and the workstation says V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V-V My IP 192.168.0.13, Server IP 192.168.0.200, GW IP 192.168.0.200 Loading /tftpboot/lts/ne2000.rom.nbi...

I haven't tried to rebuild it since it looks like a permissions problem to me (Access Violation error message on the workstation). I'm afraid I've hit the wall with why my workstations don't have access to ne2000.rom.nbi and would appreciate any comments from someone smarter than myself. Thanks for any help.
