[Server-devel] DNS/dhcp question

[Gerald Ardito]

Martin,

Thanks.

I am using version 0.6d5. And I followed the standard installation
procedures.
Our tech guy set up a VLAN which includes the APs, which point to the XS
("my box") as the DHCP server.

I didn't get to try the ping command you suggested. I will do so on Monday.

Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks.
Gerald
