Plan B Edubuntu Terminal Server Install Problem

> i think this could either be a romomatic problem (perhaps i didn't create the boot disk correctly), a software configuration problem or a nic compatibility problem.

If you have another NIC available, perhaps you could try troubleshooting
with that. I had one older client (PII 500) that I simply gave up on
when it refused to boot to the network (returning an similar error
message to yours) despite trying at least three different NICs. I
suspect that the BIOS was somehow the culprit.
You might also want to reset your switch just in case that's an issue (it was once for me).
I assume that you've successfully booted other clients to this server...
Good luck
