Hello Sameer and Martin,

I have an XS server connected to a Linksys wrt54g running openwrt with
DHCP turned off.  XO laptops can connect and browse the Internet so
DNS and routing work great, however the laptops do not find the
"school server" which I understand to be the ejabberd service.  What
are the possible ways to get the laptops talking to the ejabberd?
