For starters, I referred him to:<div><br></div><div>http://wiki.laptop.org/go/School_server<br><div> </div><div>He has the following questions. </div><div><br>> what's missing at least in part is network <br>> topology and possibilities, especially on the <br>> LAN side of the xs. <br>> for example, assuming eth0 for WAN (internet <br>> access) and eth1 for LAN (xo) access, can we <br>> connect eth1 to a switch and connect an access <br>> point to the switch (this lets us connect xo <br>> boxes either by wifi or by wire). <br>> as a different example, how to configure one <br>> of those cheap little home routers so we can <br>> connect eth1 to the router and then connect xo <br>> boxes either to the built-in switch on the <br>> router or the built-in access point on the <br>> router to allow the xs dhcp server to respond <br>> to xo requests for ip addresses (i.e. inhibit <br>> the router's dhcp server)? <br>> these are not really xo and xs considerations <br>> except that these are some of the stumbling <br>> blocks we've encountered in our so-far-failed <br>> attempt to get the school server working with <br>> the xo boxes. <br><br></div></div></div></div> </body> </html>
