I run a similar setup. There are many ways to do this, but this is the way I
did it. I got all the MAC addresses of the Thin Clients and put them in the
deny list of the Netware DHCP server, then I setup DHCP on the Ubuntu server
but did not specify a range. I then explicitly gave each Thin Client a static
IP address. Also make sure that if you are using ZenWorks imaging that tftp is
either turned off or use another VLAN. Here is an example of my dhcpd.conf:
option domain-name "";
option domain-name-servers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
option routers xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
default-lease-time 14400;
ddns-update-style none;
next-server 10.20.32.3;
subnet xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx netmask 255.255.252.0 {
default-lease-time 14400;
max-lease-time 172800;
filename "pxelinux.0";
}
group {
use-host-decl-names on;
host bob {
hardware ethernet 00:00:00:00:00:00;
fixed-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;
}
}

I am trying to set up a Ubuntu LTSP server to run thin clients. The DHCP in
our school is handled by a Novell Netware server 6.5 sp8. I would like the
Netware server to handle DHCP for the thin clients also. Are there any good
instructions out there on how to do this? Or could someone walk me through it?
Thanks.
