[quote="freezz10"]I have a wired home network with ethernet jacks in every room, my router sits far away from my PVR and i am connecting my PVR via an ethernet cable. i am note sure if this information is suffeciant so please let me know if you need more info about my network[/quote]
Supposing the physical connection is correct, then this info is indeed not sufficient.
How are the PCs on your home network getting their IP address (DHCP or fixed)?
Trying to mimick the settings of the PCs on the TF is generally a good idea. Allthough using DHCP on a web-server can be annoying.
When using a fixed IP address and you don't know all the ins and outs, keep in mind the following:
- Make sure all participants have different IP addresses
- Keep the first tree numbers the same on all participants and only vary the last (use 1-254)
- Enter the same subnet mask for all participants
- You can keep the standard gateway entry blank unless you want to give your TF access to the internet or access the TF from the internet. In that case, use the same standard gateway as a participant that already has internet access.
PS: On Windows you can retrieve the settings by using the command "ipconfig" from the command prompt
