Cannot Connect In Wifi Client Mode

After configuring my Roli to client mode, it says that it connected successfully to my WLAN. But the ARC scan cannot find it :-( It may be a policy (firewall?) problem, but I have not installed or activated any AV software. [Using Win8]

WLAN shown as 192.168.1.8, default gateway 192.168.1.1

Outch, the scan range is 192.168.42.xxx! That's the address of a VMWare local network.

How do I change the address to scan?

Another way to find your ip address of your computer is to right click on your network connection(wifi or wired) in your system tray (bottom right corner of your desktop) and choose Open Network and Sharing Center.

From there click Local Area Connection (blue text) then click the details button. Your IP 4v Address is the line you are looking for.

What kind of laptop do you have? I guess I should ask what kind of computer do you have.

restart ARC, or you could go to your DHCP leases page on your router and find the IP address for the V4 and plug that into the connection box.

If your router shows only 2 leases, one of them is probably your computer (192.168.1.8). The other should be the EZ-B.

If you are running this in a VM, you are definitely going to have to manually enter the IP address.

ARC does not run in a VM, but VMWare has installed a couple of local networks, and the Builder seems to scan such a network - even if the Connection shows the right network address :-(

Again: how do I instruct Builder to use the right network?

VMware is controlling what your computer displays as networks.

There is no way to change this value in ARC.

Again, find the IP address on the leases page of your router and plug it into the connection in ARC and you will be fine.

How should a change in the router affect which network is scanned by Builder?

If the network is not configurable in Builder, the software is unusable for me.

Or do you mean that I should run the Builder in a VM, and adjust the VMWare network address to what Builder expects?
