Thanks for your reply. I was under the impression that you need to activate NAT for the thin clients in the case when you are utilizing local-apps on them. Am I to understand that in any LTSP setup where you have two interfaces (as I do) you will need to activate NAT, even if you are not running local applications? I ask this because one of the benefits I had from not activating NAT was that within our organization, sometimes people just unplug the computer's network cable and plug it into their own laptop hoping to get Internet. Obviously this poses a major problem and in the past this would never work because that jack was only good for PXE booting. If I activate NAT for the thin clients, would someone now be able to just plug in their laptop and have full access to all the machines on the network, the Internet, etc?
