Network Question:

Skip to comments   Jump to end

Ok, here is what I have:

The ports are: Router 10.0.0.1 Desktop 10.0.0.2 MagicJack 10.0.0.3 EZB 4 (Sally) 10.0.0.4

I have everything going into the router and then going to the Internet.

I have two wifi connections. One is for the Internet and one is for the EZB. If I hook up for the EZB, I loose the other connection.

I guess my question is: How do I hook it up were they are BOTH connected?

The ports are conflicting.

Do you have two WiFi (or one WiFi and one wired connector)? You can't be on two wifi networks from the same adapter.

Is your other network in the 10.x.x.x subnet, and if so, what is your subnet mask. You can't have two adapters on the same machine in the same subnet.

Hey, Alan. I am not a Network professional. All I know is that on the Sally robot, I can connect to the EZB4 Directly. If I hook the Desktop to the EZB-4 I can also connect up. But, when I try to hook up separately to the Main Network, it doesn't work until I disconnect the eZB4. So from the Networks listed I have TWO that are a concern for me. This network is needed to control the Sally robot.

Everything works fine on the Sally robot. But,I am running TightVNC which lets me use the desktop to control the tablet. Without the control, it is extremely difficult to operate the Sally robot.

I usually fire everything up and then use TightVNC to control Sally. Then I can operate from the Desktop without too many back aches and neck aches, etc.

I hope I explained that correctly.

So, from what you are saying, maybe I can install a second wifi adapter to the tablet?

Before I sold the EZB 4s, I hooked it all up and it worked fine and I had control of it. But, I must have done something different.

Let me back up. Are you still connecting directly to the EZ-B 's own nwetwork (where its address is 192.168.1.1 or did you get it connected to your router so it gets a 10.0.0.x address? (preferably 0.4 but you will need to tell the router to assign that address).

To have both EZ-B and Internet access, the EZ-B must be connected to the router and your computer must be connected to the router.

Alternatly, yes you could have a second WiFi adapter and be connected to both (and with your router address being 10.0..0.1 you would avoid the shared address space conflict) but that should not be needed.

To find your computer IP address, open a command prompt and type ipconfig [enter]

(I am making the assumption your router only has one network. Many new ones have more than one. Mine has 4)

Another thing. If you decide you need to go the two adapter route, let me know. I have a spare WiFi dongle I can drop in the mail to you. They are cheap, but it will save you a few bucks.

I have a Home-972 regular internet wifi.

The address of it is: 192.168.137.1 Port 3389 my router is 10.0.0.1 The ports are: Router 10.0.0.1 Desktop 10.0.0.2 MagicJack 10.0.0.3 EZB 4 (Sally) 10.0.0.4

Let me do an ipconfig

#7  

When I did an ipconfig with the Home-94F2 connected, it came back:

10.0.0.1 and 10.0.0.4

Thanks for the wi-fi dongle, but I have got one.

and with the EZB4 plugged in: 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.2

What that tells me is that you don't have the EZ-B talking to the router yet. When connected to the EZ-B network, you need to open your web browser and connect to 192.168.1.1

From there you can tell the EZ-B your home network's SSID and password. It will reboot and connect to your network and get a 10.0.0.x address.

Then you can connect to your router with your PC. Log into it and find what address it assigned to the EZ-B and tell it to always assign 10.0.0.4 to that MAC addess (instructions vary by router brand).

From then on, you will be set to have Internet and EZ-B on the same network.
