Hello all, not another newbie I hear you ask yourselves, yes afraid so I reply, one with a bit of a problem and I was reccomended to ask here so here goes...
I am looking to add a linux sat receiver to my current wireless network at home.
The sat receiver is a TM-9100 and it has the ability to change IP address to whatever you want/ need.
Basically I want to connect a gaming adaptor with a short ethernet cable to the TM-9100 so I can access the hard drive on the 9100 via my wireless network, there is one ethernet connection on the 9100.
Yesterday I aquired a Belkin Wireless G Gaming Adapter F5D7330UK, my router is a Linksys WAG300N with 3 laptops connected via wireless. The IP of the router is 192.168.1.1, the laptops are set at 192.168.1.51,
192.168.1.52 and 192.168.1.53 and are all running Windows XP home.The Gaming adaptor has a 'out of the box IP' 192.168.2.225. I did change the IP of the gaming adaptor to 192.168.1.100 in the beginning, but it still would not work.
I tried channels 8, 10 and 11 at various times, I made sure all the wireless units were on the same channel each time.
I previously had my 9100 connected via a crossover cable direct to laptop with IP 192.168.1.51 and it connected to the internet no problem.
Now my dilema, I want to connect the gaming adaptor to my 9100 with a short cable, but, when I was trying it out last night I could only connect to either the router or the adaptor, but not both together.
I did try changing the ip address of the adaptor and 9100 but it didn't work, at least I couldn't get it to work.
Does the adaptor need to be a different IP to the 9100 or the same? I tried both and I couldn't get either one working. Initially I set the IP on my 9100 to 192.168.1.10 (as suggested in the guide foe ease of remembering) but have since changed it to various address's without success.
For obvious reasons I want to keep the IP of my router and laptop as they are now, so does anyone know what I should set the 9100 and gaming adaptor IP's to?
Thanks in advance
