Hi Jerry That sorted it out - almost...
I added the gateway and the server can now ping through the router. I added port forwarding for HTTP and success .... partially From the outside I can enter the router WAN IP (which is now 192.168.0.210) and mixed results... http://192.168.0.210 gives the Firefox error "Server not found, Firefox can't find the server at schoolserver.patukae.org" (showing that it has found something at least....). Same with http://192.168.0.210/moodle/ However, the MediaWiki installed on the XS is fine (http://192.168.0.210/wiki is fully accessible). The difference is that moodle lives in /var/www/moodle but the wiki lives in /var/www/html/wiki Would be sincerely grateful for the last piece in the puzzle.... so would all the teachers here, as this firefighting is going on in parallel with the XS/wiki deployment!

Lets try to get this to auto configure, edit ifcfg-lanbond0:2 from: if [ $XS_SERVER_NUM = "1" ] ;then ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=$XS_LANBOND_MAINXS_IPADDR NETMASK=255.255.255.0 BOOTPROTO=static #BONDING_OPTS="" IPV6INIT=no else To be: if [ $XS_SERVER_NUM = "1" ] ;then ONBOOT=yes IPADDR=$XS_LANBOND_MAINXS_IPADDR NETMASK=255.255.255.0 GATEWAY=172.18.0.88 BOOTPROTO=static #BONDING_OPTS="" IPV6INIT=no else That should create the default route via 172.18.0.88, when the network comes up. restart the network service and retest service network restart ping 172.18.0.88 ping 192.168.1.88 This that fails, can you capture the output of: ip route ls Jerry > David Leeming > Solomon Islands Rural Link > > -----Original Message----- > From: Jerry Vonau [mailto:jvo...@shaw.ca] > Sent: Monday, 1 November 2010 10:41 a.m. > To: David Leeming > Cc: 'XS Devel' > Subject: Re: [Server-devel] Bridging XS to another network > > On Sun, 2010-10-31 at 18:13 -0500, Jerry Vonau wrote: > > On Mon, 2010-11-01 at 08:55 +1100, David Leeming wrote: > > > Still no luck here.
