Then after that power off the receiver using the switch power it back on and search for the ihub using wiznet. Let me know if it's 1.4. Good luck!

Do this.

[Desertbuster]

GOT IT 1.4 what now?

[beekermc]

Really? Wow, awesome!! Erase wiznet from your computer. Great job the hard part is over!! Load 209 on your receiver and goto ipconfig. Let me know when you are there.

Give yourself a pat on the back!

[Desertbuster]

Should I have channels. all still seem to be scrambled and no signal

[beekermc]

No channels, we aren't there yet. But soon.......

Server's running like crap today, hope its better.

[beekermc]

Do you have a crossover cable desertbuster?? You're going to need one for the next step.

[Desertbuster]

I have ip config. just so as you know it still reads 192,168,1,46 for the local ip and the local port is still 0. the rest is as it should be. 209 has been loaded.

[Desertbuster]

What is a cross over cable?

[Desertbuster]

When the server is running like "crap" what does it mean. no channels or not as many? I have an extra ethernet is that what I need. you will have to let me know what it is I need.

[beekermc]

A crossover cable is a special network cable you use to connect certain devices together. We might be able to use the router for this purpose. So what I need you to do now is connect the ethernet from your computer to one of the four ports on the router and your iHub to one of the four ports as well. Then you goto start>run>cmd and type ipconfig and hit enter. Then post all of those numbers here.

[beekermc]

Crap means it's been freezing a lot lately and was down for a few days. Nothing unexpected you have to deal with these things when you work with new technology.

[Desertbuster]

I have the computer cable in no 1 and ihub in 2 on the ihub is that okay

[Desertbuster]

I have those numbers somewhere but I will do it again

[spyder123]

I have only heard of dialup users able to get it working with a crossover cable straight to the ihub from pc.

Curiously waiting to see if it will work with a router using dialup. Good luck.

[Desertbuster]

didn't have them all have some extra ones now
172.190.228.170
255.255.255.255
172.190.228.170

Myhomewestell.com
192.168.1.45
255.255.255.0
192.168.1.1

[Desertbuster]

Is that what you need?

[beekermc]

1 and 2 is fine.

@Spyder, I don't know that this will work but due to the fact that you can change the the numbers in the ipconfig of the ihub you should "theoretically" be able to connect to any web address (ie the adress of the computer sharing it's internet connection).

[beekermc]

Yeah that's what I needed desert gimmie a few minutes to map out the network in my head....

[beekermc]

Hey desert you need to do this on your computer:

c/p
I have been using dial up this how to. First thing you must set up Internet connection sharing from your computer.

Click start menu, click on connect to, right click on dial up icon look for Properties. Left click on properties then left click on advanced tab on top. You will now see:
1- fire wall settings
2- Internet connection sharing Box, check THIS BOX( Then make sure box allow other users network users) is CHECKED

At bottom of page left click on Network setup wizard. you will now see a pop up for the the wizard. in the wizard click next, click next again. (If not connected to dial up at this time check box ,ignore disconnected network).

You will now see a local connection icon in window, Then click next.
In the pop up window you will see 3 choices ( this very important) Only check this computer connects to internet.

Then click next,next pop up you can name what you want .click next,Same in next pop up then click next, I like to to check turn off file and printer-sharing then click next,next pop click next,THEN WIZARD WILL RUN AFTER WIZARD FINISHES YOU WILL HAVE 4 CHOICES, check bottom only box (JUST FINISH Wizard). Then click next,Then Click Finished.

OK Your Internet sharing is set.
