</div>Good!<br>
<br>
- What version of the XS?<br>
<br>
- Did you follow the standard installation procedures?<br>
<br>
- What happens if you do ...?<br>
ping -c1 `hostname -f`<br>

</div>The AP has to be running as an AP, _not_ as a router (so it does not<br>
need to "point" anywhere). Just connect the AP to eth1<br>

<br>
</div>Probably the AP is trying to act as a router instead of as an AP. Make<br>
sure you disable all routing features.<br>

<br>
</div>What is "my box"? The XS _must_ be the local dhcp server. The XS must<br>
be local, not remote. There must be no "box" between the XS and the<br>
XOs.<br>
