new NOWS SBE - open workgroup - small business

I'm installing this <so beatyfull> package.

Any other <victim> linked to the forum did so?

The instructions are wrong: a prerequisite of
the small business server is TO HAVE a DHCP
ALREADY WORKING, or you cannot install the
server. ---> I thought this was the/a small 
business server, not the second support choice 
in a working environment.

However, i bought a wireless access point to
have a dhcp [..]: At least the server installs now.

My problems come when i THINK how should be
an upgrade PATH from NOVELL NETWARE SMALL BUSINESS
6.5, to Novell Open workgroup suite SBE.
Because it's simple to move here from a Win2k
environment from microsoft then from a NOVELL
product.

the guide do not provide any info about 
upgrade GROUPWISE on netware to GROUPWISE on
linux, nor move an "old" netware 6.5 nds server
to the "new" one : or at lease i see only a
stupid tool about COPYING the data.

I miss something?

PS
THANKS :O)

I've run through the install a couple of times in a VM, and can't seem 
to do anything past logging in to the administration console.  I changed 
the DHCP address to a proper server address at the first, and used the 
correct Gateway and DNS for my network, but at the point of entering the 
license key (which I am assuming is the "Activation Code" from my 
download page) I get an error saying "Could not reach authentication 
server. Please check internet connection."

The credentials don't allow me to login to the server directly (I've 
tried sbsadmin, admin and root with the password that allows me to login 
to the web console) so I don't know how to check from the server that it 
can connect to the internet.

Any ideas?
