Thanks. It makes sense ... < netstat -anp | grep ":67 "> gives me nothing.
203.79.110.81 is my DNS. I've replaced it by 192.168.0.1 -
and also two missing lines to the root-path, but I'm now getting the error message


No subnet declaration for eth0 (203.79.110.81).
Please write a subnet declaration in your dhcpd.conf file for the
network segment to which interface eth0 is attached.
exiting.

Should I delete 203.79.110.81 rather than commenting it out ? I've discovered the #ltsp IRC channel on irc.freenode.net. I did not use pxelinux but rather the eb-5.2.5-rtl8139.zdsk ROM with CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT option. My current /etc/dhcpd.conf is below.

Hi, I've eliminated most of the possibilities preventing recognition of DHCP
by ws001 mentioned in LTSP documentation, and at one stage



ps aux | grep dhcpd


was giving me three lines, the middle one containing '- vi dhcpd.conf'
which I assume was the problem.



That's not a problem. It just shows that you are editing the dhcpd.conf file. Which is Ok. What other lines did you see in the output of the ps command?



According to the LTSP doc, if the workstation gets a valid reply from the DHCP
server it gives a response containing



Me: 192.168.0.1, Server: 192.168.0.254, Gateway 192.168.0.254


suggesting these are three key ingredients. They seem to be lacking in my
/etc/dhcpd.conf (below). I really don't care if IP is statically or
dynamically
allocated (my ISP uses static) ... as long as it works. I've tried both
options
without success. DHCPD starts at boot - can anything be fixed in the config
below ?



Does dhcpd really start at boot? Try this to be sure:

   netstat -anp | grep ":67 "


How many nics do you have in your server?

Do you really own the 203.79.110.0 class-c ?  or just some portion of
it?

If that 203.79.110.0 network is exposed to the internet, you REALLY
don't want to be serving up NFS, DHCP, TFTP and XDMCP on that net.
That's a huge security problem.

Also, you might try popping into the #ltsp IRC channel on
irc.freenode.net, where we can help you interactively.
