I have a student who has done an ltsp install on top of Ubuntu 10.04 server. *He has built the fat client image and the clients boot, test users can log on and even play openarena. *
The only trouble we have so far is that the browser can not connect to internet... *The server can talk to the outside world- not the clients.

Any ideas??
Thanks everyone.

Since the fat clients are essentially full machines, you'll either have
to set their nameservers/router in the dhcpd.conf file (if the machine
can route to it) or if it can't, use your terminal server as a router.

This guide explains the latter:

Thank you Johnathon. *My students used your how to that I had come upon to do the ltsp install on 10.04. *It was your how to that told my students to apt-get openarena. *The how to looked good when I skimmed it so I just had them go through it on a new server they built. *Boy, did they have grins on their faces when I asked why openarena is installing!


We did the iptables route rather than trying to manage it through dhcp.conf.
Internet seems to be working on the clients- we only have three clients now but will try to get 30 running this week.


I thought the nat ip_forward=1 was for systems with two nics.?? *The ltsp server has only one nic and is inside the firewall at school, but clients seem to*function*well.

Glad it worked! I recommend this one too:

Indeed, it depends whether you want to use the server as a router and
how it gets its outside connection. I guess your students used the
school's router for the fat client machines. Good to hear that they're
learning and having fun!
