If the SunRay is directly connected directly to the server you should set the router to the IP of your server host. Unless you have a compelling reason to do otherwise, you should probably use a switch and connect everything together. Putting the SunRay on a separate physical network, the way you have it sounds like you have it now, IS more secure. This is the typical reason for configuring this way.

If everything is connected together through a switch or your firewall/ router, and everything is on the 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0 network, the router address you have set is correct. If you have the SunRay connected directly to separate ethernet port directly to the server, the SunRay can't reach the router.

If you want separate physical networks, and you want the SunRay connected directly to the server, it should be on a separate network address than the other network that is cabled to the router. They should not both be 192.168.0.0/255.255.255.0. It should be set to something like 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. Note you will need to bind the separate server ethernet port to this network also.

Depending on the network cards, you would need a crossover cable for this sort of setup. If you have link light illuminated next to the cables on both end, usually green or amber, you are fine with the cable you have. If its red, or not illuminated, you don't have "link" and will need a crossover cable for this configuration.

Hi,
I am trying to setup a Sun Ray 2 system based around Ubuntu. I have
followed
the instructions from the UbuntuOnSunRay web page
(https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuOnSunRay) but am still unable to
boot a client.

My Sun Ray 2 starts and displays code 21, then it displays 22D (paremeters received) and shows it's IP address - nothing more happens and then it reboots
and the cycle continues.

The little box that displays the codes shows the IP address under the client icon - but there is no server IP address shown - I noticed when i first did this and the client downloaded new firmware it displayed the server address
where it was obtaining the new firmware version from.

I am using SRSS 3.1.1 (Linux).

here is some information that might be useful:

I have noticed that the utstoraged shows that the storaged service keeps restarting (every few seconds) but I don't think that is my problem at this
time.

Can anyone shed some light on possible causes? I'd say the client can't find/communicate with the Sun Ray server, but all the pieces of the puzzle
seem to be there.

Quick question - on the setup it asked for the "router" IP address, what IP what is this refering to? I have set it to be my internet/firewall router, but in hindsight I don't know why it would need to know that as it connects
directly to my server.

Guidance would be appreciatted.

Many thanks.
