Don't think you want to mess with the XS's eth1 setup, that is
pre-configured to use a different network, if you have dhcpd running on
the schoolserver (check with "service dhcpd status") the clients should
be able to ping the schoolserver without the internet.

Before I comment, what is the output of "ip route ls" and "arp -n" while
connected to the internet?

Those 150 machines should be able to ping the schoolserver, at least by
ip address. Do the client machines even get an ip address to use? If so
what is it? Can any of the client machines ping the schoolserver @
172.18.0.1 or 172.18.96.1?
