Thanks for the help everyone. I'll try some of this tomorrow. I don't think the lack of a designated gateway is the problem. I should have mentioned that with the entire /interfaces file copied above, I get no internet on the server itself, although clients will boot just fine. To answer your question ekul, the LTSP server is part of the schoolwide network. I just need eth2 to be assigned an IP address from the DHCP server and it will give internet to the clients. I tried uncommenting that line below eth2 but it didn't change anything. This is the same /interfaces file on my other LTSP server and it works perfectly, except that the interfaces on that server are designated as eth0 and eth1, so when I cloned to the new server the interface designations were incorrect. I'll try Scott's suggestion of deleting the persistent network settings and seeing if it corrects anything. Thanks for the help, I'll report back tomorrow.<div>

The missing gateway also caught my eye.<div><br></div><div>I was also wondering why you activate eth2 but don't assign it any address. The line that would use DHCP is commented out and from your ip route list it appears to be getting an automatic private ip. I assume that has been assigned by NetworkManager.</div>

Whatever it is I think you need to specify how that interface should be configured and make it the default route for the server.<div>

I don't see a 'gateway' stanza in your interfaces file for eth0..might<br>
explain no Internet access. ;)<br>
