[Sugar-devel] Cannot connect to internet on school server

[Tony Anderson]

Jerry,

As I understand it he is using XS-0.7. XS-0.7 has two configured ports 
The first is for the LAN, the
second is for the WAN. If he follows your suggestion he will not have a 
network connection to the
laptops. The XS-0.7 xs-setup-network sets up the second port to accept 
DHCP from the ISP. If a
server has one ethernet port, the second port may need to be accessed 
via a usb-ethernet adapter.

Yours,

Tony
