The initial test client which is specified by MAC address in the dhcpd.conf file gets and IP address initially from the LTSP server, boots pxelinux, and then does another DHCP request this time taking a response from the corporate DHCP server which causes the client to not boot Edubuntu (boots to Busy Box). Based on man dhclient.conf, I can add commands to ignore the corporate DHCP server, but I'm assuming I'd have to rebuild the client image for the client to use this file. Is there a way to include the same configuration info in lts.conf? You talked about DNS and DHCP, these are two different network services, and i'm sure DNS has nothing to do with LTSP thin client booting, so, configure your system following the instructions on the edubuntu wiki. There are two types of installations, ltsp-server-standalone and another, depending on whether there's an external DHCP server or if LTSP server is also the DHCP server. In any case, you may need to issue: sudo* ltsp-update-sshkeys sudo ltsp-update-image on the ltsp server if you are receiving initramfs or busybox on the clients. Thanks for your help on this.

Dave,
Â* That was a typo; it should have said “…network that already contains a DHCP server run by our parent company…†Â* I have already run those commands you mentioned and configured the dhcpd file according to the Wiki article. No go.
