<br>Martin,<br><br>Thanks for the help.<br><br>I am running version 0.5.2 (the latest stable version).<br><br>The network looks like this:<br>XOs connect to an AP<br>AP points to server box<br>Server box connected to VLAN<br>
<br>The problems I am having:<br>1) I was told by my network guy to set the box for a static IP address and default gateway. I do this via ifconfig, but when I reboot, it is gone.<br>2) I was told by my network guy to configure DHCP for a bunch of parameters (subnet mask, IP range). I have references about dhcpd.conf but I was worried it was created by one of the olpc-scripts.<br>
3) So, since the server is not set properly, the XOs can't connect to that newly created wireless network.<br><br>The old problems I was having:<br>1) When we were all on the school's regular network, the XOs could ping the server and vice versa. But the "Register" function didn't work. I don't know if this is still a problem because I can't get the new chunk of things to work.<br>
<br>Does this give you what you need?<br>Is it possible to Skype sometime? My Skype username is gmanb5.<br><br>Thanks.<br>Gerald<br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sat, May 16, 2009 at 5:45 AM, Martin Langhoff <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:martin.langhoff@gmail.com">martin.langhoff@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

- what exact problems you are having<br><br>it's hard to provide advise. <br><br>I'll try however. In general, you should not change the dhcpd configuration on the XS. Give the XS 2 NICs, and let it run its own subnet.<br>
<br>hope that helps - but do give us some more info!<br><br><br>martin<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Fri, May 15, 2009 at 10:50 PM, Gerald Ardito <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:gmanb5@gmail.com" target="_blank">gmanb5@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>Recently, in order to alleviate some problems, our school's network guy established a new VLAN only for the XOs.<br>
<br>The VLAN points to my server box as the DHCP server.<br><br>Here's what I think I need to do:<br>1. Edit the DHCP config file for: 1) IP address; 2) subnet mask; 3) and IP range<br>2. Edit the resolv.config file to point our schoolserver to the IP address set above<br>
3. Start the dhcpd service.<br><br>Here are my questions:<br>1) is that right?<br>2) is there anything else I need to do to configure the DNS and DHCP services?<br><br><br>Thanks. I really need to get this running!<br><font color="#888888"><br>
