I have 2 wyse v50 duals. They have been in service for 4-5 years working with essentially no issues. Recently the IT group changed the DHCP server and they will no longer boot. I have sniffed packets and can see that the v50 sends a request, the server replies, but the v50’s seem to just be ignoring the reply. I have plugged other Ubuntu, Win, and Sun based machines into the exact same copper that these are plugged into and they get addresses and work flawlessly… I have pluggeed a few HP xterms into the same copper with suggess… these two wyse terms just have issues…. maybe they need an OS update?
Unfortunately, if a wyse is configured for DHCP, and it doesn’t get an address, it just takes you to a blank grey screen with an ‘X’ mouse cursor. Is there any way past this so I can set the thing for a static address? I need my terminals!!!!
