Yes, a conflicting DHCP server is a pain. My solution is to connect things together temporarily using my own switch, which really isn't that time-consuming to set up, or to run at night when the computer room can be disconnected from the university DHCP server. I think that this could be solved by modifying the miniroot.gz file used by the terminal server, but that's beyond my abilities. It would be nice if someone would try to update the terminalserver to get it to work with the 2.6.X kernel, and to solve this DHCP problem. M.
