Sun Ray fans and experts:
We've been happily running Sun Rays almost since their release ... in
fact, we are still running ours on a dedicated 192.168.128.* subnet
because that is what we originally set up for SRSS 1.0. We've upgraded
the server a couple of times, we've upgraded SRSS multiple times, but
we're still using the same dedicated network. The downside of that, of
course, is that I'm pretty clueless when it comes to knowing how to get
DCHP to send out the proper stuff to Sun Rays ... it just happens.
I now have a couple of the little Accutech Gobi7 "Sun Ray laptops".
They work just fine when plugged into our dedicated network and they
also work when plugged into our shared, behind the firewall 192.168.0.*
network (so I at least learned about "utadm -A 192.168.0.0"). However,
I'm having a hard time figuring out how to configure a wireless router
so that these laptops work as Sun Rays when connected to our 192.168.0.*
network (or to the 192.168.128.* network, if that is easier .... I don't
care). I'm not worried about VPN or "really remote" access at this
point .... we just need a couple of "mobile Sun Rays" in the building.
I've got a Linksys WRVS4400N that can be set up as a DHCP relay agent
(well, and an older WRT54GL, that can't). My thinking was that it would
basically pass on the DHCP requests to our SRSS machine (an X4100
Solaris 10 x86/64 box running SRSS 3.1, if that matters) and, in that
way, would allow the existing DHCP and Sun Ray server pass out both the
IP address and all of the Sun Ray-specific stuff as well. But despite
my attempts at actually trying to read the Linksys user guide and
various Google searches, I can't seem to figure how to do this or what
I've fouled up in my attempts to configure the wireless relay. I think
that I have it set up as a relay agent point to the IP address of our
SRSS server ... but nothing seems to happen. Seems to be stuck at "21".
If anyone has experience with a similar configuration ... or can point
me to material that help me to get smarter about DHCP and wireless
routers so that I can figure out what I'm doing wrong, I'd be most
appreciative.
Thanks,
John
