Hi, new to openSUSE and so far very impressed!  I've got a KIWI-LTSP
server setup on our LAN.  I used the 1-Click install (such a awesome
feature!) to install it and used Easy-LTSP program to configure it.  I
had to disable the DHCP server on the KIWI-LTSP server since I already
have one running (Windows NT Server).  Everything looks good, but I
seem to be having trouble with booting the thin clients.  It boots,
downloads the kernel, but it gets stuck looking for the tftp server
and configuration file.  The only time that I got it working was when
I accidentally left the DHCP server running on the KIWI-LTSP server.

My guess is that the thin client thinks the DHCP server (Windows NT 4
Server) is also the TFTPBoot server so it times out looking for the
TFTPBoot server as well.  When it did work, it must have gotten the
DHCP request answered by the KIWI-LTSP server and it correctly booted
but I can't have two DHCP servers running on the same LAN.

I think I'm having the same problem as this person:
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-networking-3/opensuse-kiwi-ltsp-658556/
but I already have the TFTP server address defined in the Windows NT
DHCP server.  Does anyone know how to configure the KIWI-LTSP server
to use a different DHCP server like my Windows NT DHCP server?  Also,
what DHCP options are necessary for the thin clients?
