Great, I'm glad that my experience is useful to others!

I had no idea of the answer to your question when you first wrote it 
since I had only messed with the settings on the switch.  Based on your 
emails since then it looks like you've found ways to disable flow 
control on the LTSP server.  Good job sleuthing!

FYI, I highly recommend getting at least "smart" or "web controllable" 
switches if at all possible for your core network switches.  They 
usually don't cost too much more than a "dumb" or unmanaged switch and 
since the network is such an important component of an LTSP installation 
it's worth it to invest some money there IMHO.

You're very welcome.  Thanks for taking it to the next level!
