Re: [Windows] Cannot get network shares working with Boxee Box I changed the Linksys routers IP to be 192.168.0.2. I rebooted the modem, renewed the connection on this laptop, and ended up getting limited connectivity with the laptop. I went in to the Linksys router to change the static IPs for my devices to ones that would work, and then tried to access the D-Link router to check and see if something needed to be changed in there, and couldn't access that. So I tried to reverse the process again, so I changed the Linksys router back to it's original IP. After it rebooted, I could not access anything through it, including the web interface. Since that meant I could not fix whatever the problem is, that's what I factory reset the Linksys.

| do they both have different network schemes? for instance, one as 192.168.1.* and the other 192.168.10.*? |

You have several devices, and they all need to be in the same network - in your case that sounds like 192.168.0.x . Since the dlink is the router it's also the default gateway for all your devices - so everthing other than the dlink would have it's 192.168.1.x address, subnet mask equal to what you have on the drink (I'd recommend 255.255.255.0) and default gateway of 192.168.1.1. Then you'll get into what's static and what's DHCP, and make sure the static IP's are not within the DHCP range. I'd start with the Dlink (changing it's subnet mask) and work back from there. If you have some sort of diagramming software (visio, dia, etc) then I'd suggest you draw your entire network first and include the IP info so you can have it all planned out before you start. We'd all be happy to help you proof read it. Here's an example to give you an idea of th type of diagram I'm talking about. |

Huntsville, AL | correction - everything should be in 192.168.0.x and use 192.168.0.1 as their gateway. That's why I suggest you diagram it first so you can proof it to make sure it all lines up.  |

the problem with two routed networks is that the edge router doesn't know how to get packets back to the internal router.
you have to manually tell the edge router to pass traffic to the internal router. you do this by creating a "static route".
otherwise, your devices in the internal router can get out, but the stuff on the outside cant get in. |

i had 10.10.10.1 and 10.10.15.1 with a static route to 10.10.15.1 on 10.10.10.1. don't ask why i did it this way. just know i had a good reason to and that the important thing is that it worked. |

Sure a static route could work if the router will support it, but it seems like a complex way to accomplish what has been stated (to me anyway). Just my opinion. |

So here is the layout I have right now: »www.gliffy.com/go/publish/3761479/
I probably would need exact numbers as feedback since lastime I tried to change the IP for the Linksys, it didn't work and I lost access to the web configuration page.

Change the following (all with 255.255.255.0 subnet mask / 192.168.0.1 gateway address):
Linksys - 192.168.0.2
Boxee -192.168.0.104
Xbox - 192.168.0.100
PS3 - leave DHCP
Netbook - leave DHCP
Gary - 192.168.0.121
Stashbox - 192.168.0.108
PS Vita - leave DHCP
iPhone - 192.168.0.117
Set your DHCP scope on the DLink to 192.168.0.50-192.168.0.99.
This should allow you to reach the web management interface on both the DLink and Linksys from ANY machine on the network. Remember, to reach the web management interface on the Linksys you'll need to use the NEW ADDRESS (192.168.0.2) after you make this change. |

Nice job on the diagram. So you have .224 for your WAN subnet mask - do you have 30 public IP's? If so, would you like to use any of those inside your network? |

I did all that, but now I cannot access the web interface for the D-Link router for some reason. I type the IP address for it, and it just hangs and then says it could not connect. wtf

Huntsville, AL | which computer are you using and what is it's current IP settings? After you change all these things you might have to reboot the devices. |

Kitchener, ON | I am using Gary, the laptop, and the IP is now 192.168.0.121. I rebooted both routers, but it still cannot access the D-Link router web config.

Huntsville, AL | ok - and the linksys is 192.168.0.2 / 255.255.255.0 with g/w of 192.168.0.1? as well as Gary having having 255.255.255.0 and g/w 192.168.0.1? Also, are you connected from the Dlink to the Linksys from LAN port to LAN port, and have DHCP off in the Linksys (aka bridge mode)? I'm trying to understand how you are still able to access the internet but not the Dlink router interface. |

I just had one of those of wow moments. Is there any reason you need the Dlink router? What if you just had the linksys and it served as your router and WAP (including DHCP)? Is that an option or is there some other reason why you need both the Dlink and the Linksys? |
