Hi Axel,

if thin clients boot from floppy but not through LAN/PXE, then here must 
be the error. 
- Either the protocoll (PXE/Etherboot) is the wrong one
- Or the PXE ROM-settings changed somehow (I had this at several 
machines myself): Assuming you have a Bios supporting your PXE cards, 
make sure that not only the boot order says LAN first, but also look 
for an entry "Enable PXE Bootprom" or the like somewhere in "integrated 
periphals". Then observe the screen whil booting. Is there a message 
like: Press ESC to select boot device? If so, hit ESC and manually type 
the key for "Network first".

Good luck
Regards
Ralf
