[Sugar-devel] GPA XS Report

[Caroline Meeks]

To do this we took one of the donated computers and added a new network
card.  Anurag can you explain what each network card was connected to in our
setup. We think that maybe part of the problem.

What we are trying to accomplish is to get the computers in the computer lab
to collaborate with minimal disruption to the existing computer lab.  We can
stick the schoolserver into the room and hook it into an extra ethernet
cable. But we can't rewire the lab nor can we add another router I think.
We certainly can't ask BPS to do anything with their DNS.  Do we have any
hope of the XS solving our collaboration problems?
