Re: [Server-devel] AP with fixed IP address

2008-08-20 Thread David Leeming
Hi Jerry, I am just using the XS out of the box. All settings are as default. My question concerns the effect of fixing an IP address for the AP, which should still work, but is there any possible effect on the XOs that will connect to it, through IP address conflicts that might occur? To give

Hello, For our small pilot program in Mali, we got a FUJITSU SIEMENS PRIMERGY ECONEL 100a Server but are having trouble getting the XOs to find the server and connect. We're not running any versions of the XS server, should we be? What is the XS server, I couldn't understand the explanation on the

I think Jerry misunderstood your question. You can assign the AP an address from the range 172.18.1.1 to 172.18.1.254. This is within the address range assigned to eth1 (in /etc/sysconfig/ network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1) but outside of the range that DHCP is set to provide on that interface

I accidentally upgraded from XS_165 to a new xs-config (maybe 0.3.1?). The upgrade got stuck halfway through, and I cancelled it. What is the proper way to fix config files? Copy foo.conf to foo-xs.conf? I already fixed named and squid. What other services do I need to check?

Hi! The server you have seems to be a good machine for the task. The School server we provide is a custom Linux operating system, so it will replace Windows on the machine completely. However, at the moment installing it requires a bit of Linux expertise (we are working on making this easier).
