Hello, Thanks Tim for your answer. It works now. Actually, the culprit was the cable !!!
I take the opportunity to warn any new user of LTSP, because I think that lots of them are using, like me, second hands or old hardware, about the importance of double checking your cables and switch(es) before wondering for hours why strange things happen. I have installed half a dozen times LTSP networks, and had some server or client randomely crashing because of stupid things like that.
