Hi,

What is not working? Does these solid state thin client get an IP 
address from the server?
What is the last message on the screen, during his boot phase ?

Philipp


Hello Philipp the Thin Client will boot and start looking for a Cytrix
server and then look for a Windows Terminal Server and then it just says
network and it says no dhcp server found and they sit there. The thin
clients are connected to a test network with 1 Edubuntu server with two NIC
cards and a laptop with vmware connecting as a thin client. So the server
does work but not with them.

I have to understand if someone is using Compaq T1010, T20, T30 and similar
machines to make sure that I am not losing time. 

Is anyone also using SUMO thin clients by any chance?

Thank you all again for the help ... sending these emails make me feel like
I am not alone!
