I have my LTSP server running but am not sure what is failing when 
trying to get a client to connect. Here is as much info as I can 
figure is relevant...

On the server:
      During the server's booting process, the server shows dhcpd succeeds.
      I can successfully ping others on my network.
      I can also successfully ping 192.168.0.254
      I have run:
      ----------
      tail -f /var/log/messasges
      Apr 29 14:40:23 ltsp1 xinetd[1635]: warning: can't get client 
address: Transport endpoint is not connected.
      -----------
There is nothing in the tail report about clients trying to connect.


On the switch:
      The server cable is connected to the uplink port - no green light
      When the server's cable is connected to regular port - green light!
      Client cable connects to switch and has green light
      I have swapped the switch with a known good switch.
      I have tried a new 10/100 hub. No improvement

Just to be complete, on the client, I get these messages:
      "Searching for server (DHCP)
       3C90X: Status (FF)
       3C90X: Tx Reclaim Error (FF)
       Issuing RESET

Other info:
I have on eth0 the default gateway address set to be the IP address 
of eth1 - did I do that right?

What should I try next?
