	For some reason best known only to Apple, their devices don't want to connect to a network that doesn't have a default gateway they can reach. Back in Preston, the gateway is their router (10.0.0.2), but that's not reachable from the field.		For some reason best known only to Apple, their devices don't want to connect to a network that doesn't have a default gateway they can reach. Back in Preston, the gateway is their router (10.0.0.2), but that's not reachable from the field.

	~~If you shut down~~ DHCP ~~on beaker and instead~~ run it on ~~merple, devices~~ will ~~get told the default gateway is~~ 10.0.0.~~19 (merple), which they can reach, and therefore will connect happily to~~ the ~~network~~.		DHCP is run on gonzo. The config file is: ''/etc/dhcp/dhcpd.conf''
	~~1. On beaker, open <code>Services~~</~~code~~> and ~~find <code>DHCP Server</code>~~. ~~Stop it, but don~~'~~t change its startup settings (we want it running when it goes back to Preston)~~.		Near the top you will find a section looking like this:
	~~1. On merple, run <code>~~systemctl ~~start dhcpd.service</code>~~		<nowiki>
			# this for on site
			# option routers 10.0.0.5;
			# this for at the office
			option routers 10.0.0.2;
			</nowiki>
			Uncomment the ''10.0.0.5'' line and comment out the ''10.0.0.2'' line. Then restart the dhcpd daemon using ''systemctl restart isc-dhcp-server''

	This ~~will need~~ to ~~be done after the servers are rebooted~~.		This needs reversing before shutting down the server ready to leave site.
