I was told by my network guy to configure DHCP for a bunch of

3) So, since the server is not set properly, the XOs can't connect to that newly created wireless network.</blockquote><div><br>So, how do I make the server work as the DHCP server?<br><br>Thanks.<br>Gerald<br></div>

The network looks like this:<br>XOs connect to an AP<br>AP points to server box<br>Server box connected to VLAN</blockquote></div><div><br>Good.<br> <br></div><div class="im"><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
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.</blockquote></div><div><br>To make those settings "stick", put them in /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local -- see /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 for hints...<br>

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.</blockquote>
</div><div><br>Probably related to <br> - not doing the domain_config stuff<br> - changing the dhcpd settings <br><br></div><div class="im"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
