When the IIAB registers via DHCP it advertises its name as "know", and if the DHCP server and the DNSserver talk to each other the DNS server will resolve the name.

dnsmasq does this, so I suspect that might be what School Server runs?)

The only down side to this is that if you reboot the school server,you may find you need to then reboot the IIAB device so it gets afresh DHCP lease because the school server may forget it exists.

The school server is gateway and dns for the XOs and can certainly resolve http://know to a fixed address, which is the more orthodox way to do this.

Incidentally, I believe the problem with the wiki is that the url is http://schoolserver/wiki4schools/ not http://schoolserver/wiki.

Normally, the XOs access everything from the Browse home page so that keyboard entry of urls is not needed. However, because of the xo-custom script problems this was not set up.
