I have a problem in my school lab where the static IP address of my X Server was used by another machine or device, when I started the server I would get and error massage saying that the IP "10.36.100.5" is in use by-"device id". I gave the server another static IP address and ran the Server Setup wizard. It went fine, I was able to configure the server with the new IP address and the services like DNS, Application Server, DHCP,etc...were running again or so they looked to be, since the green light next to it was lit. Now, I went to my client stations and changed the node using the Directory Access application to point to the new server IP and/or name, created a new custom path,restarted and still couldn't log in. Now, under WorkGroup Manager I have the option to authenticate under several directories. For example, 127.0.0.1, the server's IP address, and netinfo, which directory should I be using to configure my users and groups?I have been using the 127.0.0.1 directory, which I believe is the local directory? I am confused and maybe this is was causing the problem because if I log in as an administrator of the local workstation, I am able to connect to the server via the network. Besides using Server Admin Utility, how can I verify that the server is running properly and all the services are perfectly doing what they are supposed to do? I would love to have the stations connected again so the kids can finish their portfolios. Thanks again for giving me the opportunity to join this forum!
