I forgot to mention, I live in Ecuador, South America... So no TigerDirect
for me :( and I think that's ($100) about what my provider offered me (not
sure).

But seriously though....a one

I eventually figured out what I was doing wrong... I was trying to get both
the thin clients and other computers (my laptop) to use de same settings for
internet. When I changed the dhcp.conf so it would work for the computers
that connected to the network, LTSP stopped working and viceversa. I still
don't know if I can actually have both regular PCs and thin clients in the
same network both using the same DHCP, well I stopped trying.
Anyway, I now have a working internet connection. And since the rest of the
computers are laptops, they can use another wireless network to get online.
Maybe I'll get back to this problem once I get the rest tested.
