Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration for static IP instead of DHCP
Thanks for all the advice and help. I went to sleep after setting it without success ... and came back after work at it again - when I ping it works!! Maybe the lesson is to wait for the network stuff to sort things out and be patient? Have set the forwarders commands to my actual DNS and the resolv.conf nameserver points to 172.18.0.1.

You do need it once you've set the domain. If you 1 - install 2 - set the domain (which sets resolv.conf 3 - set the forwarders 4 - set ifcfg-eth0-local 5 - reboot everything 'just works'.

Use the first registered XO -- which has 'course creator' rights in Moodle. It can create new normal accounts, which login with username/password. If you want those accounts to be 'course creators' too, after creating the accounts you can grant them the right from Users-Roles-Sitewide roles (a standard Moodle procedure) hth, m -- martin.langh...@gmail.com mar...@laptop.org -- School Server Architect - ask interesting questions - don't get distracted with shiny stuff - working code first - http://wiki.laptop.org/go/User:Martinlanghoff ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel

Have you go this working with a XS server with a static IP?
Have you tried adding your ISP's DNS server(s) to the

From what you are saying, you are right in setting up the static

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration
*** Neo, Hi. I'm wondering why you need the Static IP. NeoOk the situation is that the internet provider uses WiMax to distribute the signal and then this signal is received by a Radio receiver that has a static ip address. Now in windows /Mac for me to have an internet connection I have to assign a static Ip to the machine with the dns settings as well. This leads me to think that the same information is applied to the ifcfg-eth0-local file as specified on the wiki.Rueben Does the XS have one or two network cards?Neo one network card for the WAN/eth0 and I do have Active antenna plugged in on the usb port and the XO's do connect to the server, but not the internet (DNS)Reuben Will the XS act as a gateway to the Internet?Neo Yes . When I ping www.google.com on the server with the /etc/resolv.conf edited with the remote DNS server ip address ie 10.50.211.5 then I do recieve packets back . I also installed the lynx text browser on the server to browse the internet form the XS and the pages do load. When I do the same on the connected XO I get unknown host but when I insert the google IP address in the address bar of the XO the google page loads. Thanks, Reuben Grape Projects IT wrote: Hi Martin, I have never setup a static address before and therefore have never had this issue before. Below is the step-by-step configuration that I followed and I am having a problem with the DNS as the XO's do not connect to the Internet I downloaded the XS 0.5.2 image and followed the instructions http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software. 1.I initially ran the script /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domainconfig katane.org with katane.org being the hostname 2.I also changed the HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain to HOSTNAME=schoolserver.katane.org Our internet has a static IP address therefore I copied /usr/share/doc/xs-config-*/ifcfg-eth0-local.example to /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local and edited the file with the following: IPADDR=10.50.211.15 IPV6ADDR=no NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.50.211.0 BROADCAST=10.50.211.255 GATEWAY=10.50.211.5 I also edited the /etc/resolv.conf to resolve the DNS nameserver as follows: search katane.org nameservers 10.50.211.5 3. Restarted the machine 4. I then started the ejabberd service at runlevels 345 5. Restarted the machine shutdown -r now 6. After reboot I pinged www.google.com and I got reply packets which meant that I had connection to the internet 7. now the problem is that when I check the ejabberd status ejabberdctl status I get an error RPC failed on the node ejabb...@schoolserver: nodedown so I went back to my /etc/resolv.conf file and edited the nameserver back to 172.18.0.1 and restarted ejabberd and this executed with no errors. But now the server does not resolve the DNS addresses cause when I ping www.google.com I get the error unknown host www.google.com 8.Another thing is that the XO does not connect to the internet under all scenarios but it connects to the schoolserver as I get to the who are you? page Now what do I need to do to make this work as I am using Active Antenna to connect the XO's to the Server Regards Neo Masilo ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel -- Reuben K.

Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration
Hi Martin, I have never setup a static address before and therefore have never had this issue before. Below is the step-by-step configuration that I followed and I am having a problem with the DNS as the XO's do not connect to the Internet I downloaded the XS 0.5.2 image and followed the instructions http://wiki.laptop.org/go/XS_Installing_Software. 1.I initially ran the script /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/domainconfig katane.org with katane.org being the hostname 2.I also changed the HOSTNAME=localhost.localdomain to HOSTNAME=schoolserver.katane.org Our internet has a static IP address therefore I copied /usr/share/doc/xs-config-*/ifcfg-eth0-local.example to /etc/sysconfig/olpc-scripts/ifcfg-eth0-local and edited the file with the following: IPADDR=10.50.211.15 IPV6ADDR=no NETMASK=255.255.255.0 NETWORK=10.50.211.0 BROADCAST=10.50.211.255 GATEWAY=10.50.211.5 I also edited the /etc/resolv.conf to resolve the DNS nameserver as follows: search katane.org nameservers 10.50.211.5 3. Restarted the machine 4. I then started the ejabberd service at runlevels 345 5. Restarted the machine shutdown -r now 6. After reboot I pinged www.google.com and I got reply packets which meant that I had connection to the internet 7. now the problem is that when I check the ejabberd status ejabberdctl status I get an error RPC failed on the node ejabb...@schoolserver: nodedown so I went back to my /etc/resolv.conf file and edited the nameserver back to 172.18.0.1 and restarted ejabberd and this executed with no errors. But now the server does not resolve the DNS addresses cause when I ping www.google.com I get the error unknown host www.google.com 8.Another thing is that the XO does not connect to the internet under all scenarios but it connects to the schoolserver as I get to the who are you? page Now what do I need to do to make this work as I am using Active Antenna to connect the XO's to the Server Regards Neo Masilo ___ Server-devel mailing list Server-devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
Re: [Server-devel] Server configuration
Neo, Hi. I'm wondering why you need the Static IP. Does the XS have one or two network cards? Will the XS act as a gateway to the Internet?
