Please note that Edubuntu 6.06 (Dapper) doesn't support a setup with two NICs out-of-the-box. However, soon to be released Edubuntu 6.10 (Edgy) does support this. You might want to test the Beta, it worked nicely for me. Edgy has a lot more features compared to Dapper, like support for sound & local devices (e.g. USB sticks) on the thin clients. > what should I do in case I configured the wrong one?
