Not sure if this is an SOAS or XS question or both!



I am trying out a mixed environment with XO-1s and SOAS.



The XOs are connected and registered on an XS with v 0.6. They connect
to a default network 172.18.0.0 wirelessly.



I have one PC netbook running SOAS 2 Blueberry. I can connect
wirelessly but it gives me a different network 10.42.xxx.xxx (or
close). The wireless icon on the SOAS shows me “connected to the
school server” but I can’t access any resources or register etc.



I then found I can do a wired connection, which works fine. It
connects on the default 172.18.0.0 network and I can access the XS
Moodle home page – which requires a username/password. It won’t let me
in or register the SOAS netbook until I created a user account using
the admin XO. I had to manually input the server qualified name in the
control panel of the SOAS netbook, and then I was able to register and
collaborate with the XOs (i.e. with the SOAS on a wired connection and
the XOs wireless).



Is this correct or have I missed an easier way?



What would I see if I had 2 or more computers running SOAS, connecting
wirelessly? Should they be receiving IP addresses in the default range
(172.18.0.0) or the other range I was observing (10.42.xxx.xxx)?
