If you use the * in /etc/exports and no netgroup features
fs-autoresize etc. it should work without. But it's not much work to
add the machines to netgroups. Have a look at:
<URL:http://lists.debian.org/debian-edu/2011/05/msg00052.html>.
and install the netgroups plugin as described.

I don't know anything about the windows stuff. :(

Take a look at
<URL:http://wiki.debian.org/DebianEdu/Documentation/Squeeze/HowTo/NetworkClients#Machine_type_selection_based_on_the_network>
(The manual is not yet up to date for squeeze, but most things
shouldn't have changed from Lenny):
If one wants clients on the 192.168.x.x interface of a thin client
server to boot as diskless workstations instead of thin clients, edit
/var/lib/tftpboot/ltsp/i386/pxelinux.cfg/default
and add a '3' (no quotes) to the end of the line.
Please report all issues and problems you run into, so that we can
improve things. Good luck!
Regards,
Andi
