why not just continue to get dhcp addresses from the main dhcp machine, but set the nbdroot=your.ltsp.server:port in the pxe.linux.cfg/default file.
I do this when u cant control the dhcp server, and it works ok... the only issue might be DNS, but in theory, if the XP machines are getting DNS via dhcp, u should be able to as well. kind regards, David Van Assche On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 7:19 PM, Sameer Verma <sve...@sfsu.edu> wrote: > So, our campus IP folks came by over the Spring break and "upgraded" > our network and broke the LTSP lab setup completely.
