Hi,
If your Sun Rays work when connected to
192.168.0.0, your wireless router is servicing
192.168.0.0, and your Sun Rays are connecting to
the wireless network properly, things should be
"just working" already. DHCP will work over
the wireless network just like it does over the
physical one, if the router is treating
them as the same network.
I assume you've tried using a standard laptop
to verify that the router is configured properly,
and the laptop can reach the Sun Ray server and
is getting a DHCP address on the 192.168.0.0
network? If so, the problem has to be the
connection between the Accutech and the
wireless router, and not anything specific to
the Sun Ray software...

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
