David,

Thank you for the information.

Can you attempt to perform a clean install again with edits in line below.

(I did not change this in my tests; I doubt this has any effect but want
to note I left this at the default setting)

After running domain_config

Then edit the file /etc/sysconfig/network and set hostname to
schoolserver.oceania.org (nano /etc/sysconfig/network)

Then restart (shutdown -r now)

Wait a few minutes for ejabberd to completely startup. You can check
it's status by running: service ejabberd status

With a fresh install of 0.5.1 dev 3 you don't need the following from

On the XOs are registering from a fresh OS install, 8.2? If the XOs have
been previously registered; you will need to clean out their
registration by removing the server fields in
/home/olpc/.sugar/default/config.

After removing these fields; restart the XOs
Then connect the XOs to the appropriate SSID or AA.
Then register the XO.
Then restart the XO.

I hope this helps. Please let us know.
