So you are working with a single school server. - Is there an ISP / WAN / Internet connection?

The > AP cannot be set to get an IP address from the XS. The AP will self-assign an IP for administration, and that IP is in a different range (often 10.x.x.x or 192.168.x.x). If that is your problem, then what I tend to do is to take the AP and connect it to my non-XO laptop via ethernet, and set my laptop's NIC temporarily to have a static IP in the same range. This is only needed to configure the AP for the first time - you can probably set the AP to have an IP in the XS LAN subnet to make things easier. There might be a smarter way to do this by setting a static route on the XS too. cheers, m -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- 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 [email protected] http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/server-devel
