flyman6101 Posted September 23, 2009 Posted September 23, 2009 I'm just wondering how AUP connects back to the server and if there any way to force it to connect to a central server. We have 5 schools and they are subnetted seprate. EX. HS 10.10.x.x MS 10.30.x.x ELEM 10.50.x.x Will we need to put a AUP server in each subnet. I have configured the firewall and allowed traffic to pass to the central server on the 10.40.x.x network but the client's do not discover the server in fact I do not even see any packets coming across the firewall that would indicate them trying to talk. Any input would be helpful!
bizzel Posted September 28, 2009 Posted September 28, 2009 Hi flyman, Yes, you would need a server per subnet because the clients locate the server using a broadcast packet that won't travel between subnets (as far as I know). One side project I'm working on is the option to set the server address manually via a registry fragment. I'll update the thread if I have more information on that. 2
flyman6101 Posted September 28, 2009 Author Posted September 28, 2009 Yes please let me know that would be great!

jlyle Posted October 11, 2009 Posted October 11, 2009 Firstly this is an amazing project thanks for putting the effort in! Our school network setup also contains multiple subnets, being able to point the clients to a central server via a config file would be great and worth while! Thanks again
ABennett Posted December 8, 2009 Posted December 8, 2009 Hi and thanks for a great utility! I have a full layer3 network with 22 subnets and have the same issue as others in the forum. It is a great utility, but stuck within subnets means I cannot realistically use it.
damienharrison Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 hi bizzle Did you ever get anywhere with being able to manually assign a AUP server? Kind regards Damien Harrison
