Dear all,

A colleague and I are working on a small XO deployment in East Timor and are 
having trouble accessing the XS server from the XOs.  We are using the 
Australian XS server software builds  and are using a wireless access point 
that is NOT connected to the internet.  Our issue is that as we are not 
connected to the internet we do not have *easy* access to a DNS server. My 
first plan was to simply use the IP address from the XOs to access the school 
server e.g. http://192.168.1.100 but the XOs still seem to want to use DNS. 

Question: can I easily turn on DNS server on the XS given that we do not have 
an internet connection ?
If so how do I do this ?

On the XO's : 
/etc/nsswitch.conf      says    files dns
And /etc/resolv.conf appears to get the nameserver 192.168.1.1 entry when the 
XO connects to the WAP for the first time. 

So 
 XO Server ------------  WAP -------------- XS Server |

thanks for any assistance
Tom
