[Server-devel] can't connect xo to home server

[Siisi Nketsiah]

It is one of the XS Machines that Reuben prepared it isn't an XO running an XS

It has just one network card ...that is excluding the USB network card.

We have a router not a switch it has four ports...

There is internet connection. I'm not exactly sure what kind maybe
2G...it's definitely not dial-up. It could be broadband i'm not sure.
We don't exactly have an ISP. What we do have is an ericsson router
which accepts GSM chips.
The APN has to be configured depending on the telecommunication
network GSM chip which is inserted into the router and you can access
the internet.

What we were primarily concerned with was getting the XOs to register
to the home server
but we were unsuccessful.
We connected the dongle to the access point we didn't connect the the
XS server to the
internet though we wanted to sort that out after we had been able to
successfully register XOs

So what maybe useful to us is to get instructions as to how to setup
the XS server correctly
that is the correct set of commands to use right after the
installation of the XS software
on the home server.

We aren't really sure if when you turn on the server whether you have
to log on to the server
that is log on as root or any other account which has Su privileges in
order to start the
process of registration to the server or we just need to have the
server turned on....


this isn't directly related but we also wanted to know if we are
successful getting beyond the
point we are now and get the server running correctly if we need to
have a monitor (display unit) and a usb keyboard always present to run
the server or we can access and manage it remotely most likely from an
XO.

So what in effect we need really is a walkthru for dummies
every possible detail if it isn't asking too much
thank you very much for your prompt response

p.s.
I don't know if it is possible in trying to set up the server if we
have made some changes which are conflicting with the XO.....
so it may also be useful it we could undo all previous actions.
We may also have the ejabbered service running automatically
thank you very much
