</div>If you set all the access points in the school to the same ESSID, then<br>
clients will automatically connect to the AP with best signal and even<br>
switch to a different one if you move around (however, since background<br>
scanning is slow, you might loose association if you move around too<br>
quickly).<br>
<br>
Regarding the server ip, it would be cool if you could use the DNS. dhcp<br>
could configure one nameserver on the client and an automatic search<br>
domain. For example, in the school where I'm sitting now I get this in<br>
my /etc/resolv.conf:<br>
<br>
domain <a href="http://escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org" target="_blank">escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org</a><br>
search <a href="http://escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org" target="_blank">escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org</a><br>
nameserver 172.18.0.1<br>
<br>
The DNS managed by the schoolserver has a zone called<br>
"<a href="http://escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org" target="_blank">escuela485.caacupe.paraguayeduca.org</a>", in which there's a host<br>
"schoolserver". With all this infrastructure in place, all you need to<br>
do to download a file is:<br>
<br>
wget <a href="http://schoolserver/file" target="_blank">http://schoolserver/file</a><br>
<div class="im"><br></div></blockquote><div> </div></div>I'm trying something like this. The problem is that dhclient isn't working correctly. Have you got any form to debug that command?<br>
