<p class=MsoNormal>Hello,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am now in Nauru (very small central Pacific country)
starting up a single class trial here. They have provided a machine to be used
as the XS for the pilot. They have no active antenna (AA) so we are using two
network cards and a D-Link DWL 2100 AP. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I installed the XS software and configured it for a small
school server, adding the shared roster “online” etc, and it works
fine when tested using my own prototype AA.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, I am having problems getting it work with the AP on
eth1 – can anyone advise please. This is how I tried to set it up:<o:p></o:p></p>

</span></span></span><![endif]>The DLink works to some extent attached to the
Eth1 network card. I can see it in the XO neighbourhood view and I can connect
to it on my Windows Vista laptop – it gives me an IP in the range as
above.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>However, the XOs will not stay connected. Unlike with the
active antenna, which they find and connect to in seconds of booting, they do
not find it and revert to looking for XO mesh portal. If you click on the icon
in neighbourhood view they will try to connect but the connection circle/icon
on home view stays greyed out and then it gives up.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal>Any help appreciated!<br>
