I'm not saying to change the router.

VMware is causing your issue, not ARC. DJ could change the software to allow you to enter the third octet in the scan range but this would probably cause more issues than trying to just fix yours.

The router is handing out the ip address. It knows it and will display it to you if you look. If you are unable to do this, you could try to connect to 192.168.1.9 assuming your router assigned you the next address in the range.

You could run through vmware which could solve your problem. The issue is that VMware uses bridging and routing to pass traffic through its virtual network port to your machines physical network port. The bridging is probably messing up ARCs ability to find the correct subnet to use.

I seriously doubt that running through VMWare will solve this for you. It would probably show up as an even more incorrect IP address range.

My first suggestion to look for the issued IP address in the router was an hour and a half ago. It is still what you need to do to correct the issue with your configuration. I am stepping away from this conversation and allowing the EZ-Robot team to address this and help you.

Can anybody suggest another method to scan the available devices on my network? My router seems not to offer means to show the connected addresses :-(

What type of router do you have? I will google for the instruction manual and send you the pages that have the instructions that you will need to follow.

It says: "o2 Box 4421", firmware version 1.01.20w

do you have teamviewer installed? If so, I could connect to your machine and figure it out. There are not any instructions online that go into this for your router.

if the screens are in German, I dont know that I will be of much help deciphering the language, but I know what I am looking for and will know it when I see it. It will probably take some clicking and trial and error, but, once I see the table, I will be able to tell you what your IP for the EZ-B is.

I tried to install TeamViewer right now, but it says that my system doesn't meet the minimum requirements. Perhaps it doesn't support Win8/64 right now ;-)

That is the same os and version I have and it runs fine. Did you download the 32 bit or 64 bit version?
