Hi Martin,
Thanks for the prompt reply. I need to know what to configure on t he eth1?The
client XO needs to get their IP Lease from eth1 and connect to the internet
while eth0 will serve as the outbound connections.
Also I have about 15 Access points installed in the school. Must I have them on
channel 1,6 and 11 or can I leave them on Auto? Should I configure the Access
points to lease their IP from the DHCP server or it should be fixed?
Rgds

Hi Eustace,
I will try to answer your questions -- if you think you will need more help,
please do post your questions to
server-devel@lists.laptop.orgmailto:server-devel@lists.laptop.org -- I will
set the list so that your messages come through, and we'll help you there.
First - the ISP info sounds reasonable, you will need to put those IP addresses
netmasks in the eth0 configuration -- see notes here
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Techniques_and_Configuration#Setting_a_static_IP_address_for_eth0
If you want to use OpenDNS, you will have to _ignore_ the ISPs own DNS servers.
They may prevent you from doing that - so my recommendation is: get things
started using the ISPs DNS servers. Once it's all going (so you know you're
configuring things right), try to switch to the OpenDNS servers -- if it
doesn't work... well... it's probably that the ISP is blocking it.
In some cases, it makes sense for an ISP to block this traffic (there some
malicious DNS servers out there). Consider asking them to make an exception for
OpenDNS -- which is a well known non-malicious DNS service.
Under linux - and specifically because this is a server that in itself provides
DNS services -- you have to set the DNS servers in a special config file. See
the notes here

I wish to use the following IPaddr as the server IPss for the two separate

I don't understand this part. Are those the IP addresses the ISP is telling you
to use?
The Servers has two network interface card each eth0 and eth1. Eth0 will serve
for the external communications while Eth1 will serve for the internal
communication for the DHCP server.
The DHCP lease will be private IP address like 172.0.0.1 and so on. This will
be loop of IPss released to the XO to either connect to each other or to the
internet. So I guess that the netmodem IP will server as the Gateway address.
Correct me if am wrong.
The XS is preconfigured to run the network in the 178.x segment. Let it do its
thing as it is a very specific setup.
Can you help me with the list of files that I need to edit and what are the
steps.
Yes, you need to read the Installation guide, and then pick and choose what
parts of the techniques and configuration page you want to use / apply.
