Walter, I was finally able to get this issue resolved (I think...). I'm not sure which of these changes really made the difference, since I didn't do them one-by-one, but here's what I did: 1) Disabled the onboard AMD nic 2) Threw in a generic tulip nic and went into bios and adjusted the IRQ to 3 (I think it was using 10 or 11 previously, which probably conflicts with something on the server) 3) In /etc/dhcpd.conf I added a section for the workstation and defined option-129 like below (see http://www.k12ltsp.org/phpwiki/index.php/Tecnical:Booting:ISA for further explanation) host ws004 { hardware ethernet 00:A0:24:A3:14:19; option option-128 e4:45:74:68:00:00; option option-129 "NIC=3Dtulip"; } Worked like a charm at the next boot!
