I'm using LTSP4 without problems here, but all my machines are eepro/100
based and most are using etherboot over PXE. Amusingly, the cards are
worth considerably more than the PCs they're installed in.

The first thing I'd try in your situation is hook up a laptop to a port
on the switch and set the switch to mirror all traffic to that port -
assuming you have a managed switch, of course. Failing that, I'd try
tcpdump on the server interface to see if it's ever seeing the requests
and if it's replying to them.
