Martin, Thanks for the help.
I am running version 0.5.2 (the latest stable version). The network looks like this: XOs connect to an AP AP points to server box Server box connected to VLAN The problems I am having: 1) I was told by my network guy to set the box for a static IP address and default gateway. I do this via ifconfig, but when I reboot, it is gone. 2) I was told by my network guy to configure DHCP for a bunch of parameters (subnet mask, IP range). I have references about dhcpd.conf but I was worried it was created by one of the olpc-scripts. 3) So, since the server is not set properly, the XOs can't connect to that newly created wireless network. The old problems I was having: 1) When we were all on the school's regular network, the XOs could ping the server and vice versa. But the "Register" function didn't work. I don't know if this is still a problem because I can't get the new chunk of things to work. Does this give you what you need? Is it possible to Skype sometime? My Skype username is gmanb5. Thanks.
