AW: two servers: dhcp priority

[Anton Kaser]

Hi,

I have the same problem. I also have a existing WIN-dhcp Server that I am
not allowed to switch off. That’s why I keep using alternate dhcp for my
Edubuntu server which uses Port 1067/1068.  It works fine with Feisty. I
still don't get it working under Gutsy. - But I keep trying...
It also would work under KIWI-SUSE. But there I don’t get the x-server
working for my clients :-(

With the alternate dhcp the 2 Servers can work within the same Network
without influencing each other. And as mentioned I still use Feisty. But
please tell me, if you get it working under Gutsy.

A setup with 2 Network Cards in the Edubuntu Server is not possible, because
the clients must be able to boot XP or Edubuntu without any Pluging.

I thought this was the case. the problem is, that I am not allowed to  
mess around with the windows stuff and the network. so I disconnect  
the windows server from the switch and hook up the edubuntu server.  
that works.

and maybe it is ok this way, so nobody can say "the network does not  
work its the fault of linux", as people tend to do sometimes.

tks.
