The original machine gets its ip from a central server and then I want to use it as a server for several machines in my classroom. It connects to 10.154.19.210 which is its address in the "BIG" network. it gets DNS 10.154.16.130, 10.128.0.4 and gateway 10.154.19.1 I have been playing with webmin, but either I get [FAILED] messages or it appears to work, but the machines cannot connect to it, or get their own IPs. Thank you for hanging in there with me.
