Someone please help.
I have the same problems as others since last Wednesday and cannot get a picture using iHub on Sv8K. I have read all the stickies (very helpful) and tried all suggetions but no luck. I tried resetting box and sysclean. I am using my laptop as a wireless bridge and this worked great before with linksys router.
Here's what weird.
I use all the suggested setup info including server port 77.93.75.89 but when the box connects to server it always changes to 64.71.255.198
Does anyone get a picture with this server port setting?

Anyone?

The good address is the one given 77.93.75.89 or 115 (last number) not the one you are using 64. what ever trust him he is right

You are definitely right. Look at my tracert I did on their server svftaiks.com....it should start out with that domain and end with that domain. They get a TON of "request timed out" responses. Normally thats not a big deal if you're getting 1 or 2 of them....but hell they have a DOZEN "request timed out" responses....waaaaaaaay too many. It might be because they are trying to "proxy" this thing I don't know what they are doing but its not normal to have that many timed out reponses on a tracert.

I don't have any idea what you guys are talking on this post but it has lots of information. I will like to learn, on run how do you or what are you writing in order to get all that info as emsudos post. Do I have to know my IP and router IP ,,,,,, sample = c:\ ??? what next thanks
PS : Very good Post Thanks again for all the info.

go to a "dos" window or "command promt"

type in "ipconfig /all" enter that will get your info on your computer that u are using

not exactly sure why you would need to spend the extra $ on 2 routers.

all that is needed is One wireless router the 300N is good one and i use it, then an "access" point .. i use a gaming one, you can use a print server, anything that is going to your non wireless device (STB, XBOX, PRINTER) to communicate with your wireless router to access the network resourses, internet, files, other computers on the lan, printer sharing without have the computer on.

I still would like to know all the equipment in the original post ..

the ihub is just a relitively simple device to change a serial port to an ethernet port hence then using that type of communication

What I am doing is NOT cascading routers. What I am doing is techincally called "Repeater Bridging" and it requires two routers. The advice you give me is more expensive and less reliable than my setup. It is cheaper to buy another router and bridge than buy a wireless card for each device.

lol, you first have to open cmd.

If you are using vista or windows 7. Press the windows icon (start button) and type cmd in the search box.

In windows xp click start button and press run. Then type cmd.

Once cmd is open type ipconfig /all.

cmd is located in C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe

If you are using vista or windows 7. You can use the snipping tool.

It is located in %windir%\system32\SnippingTool.exe

as i stated in an earlier post in this thread the term "bridge" is thrown around and the purpose of my posts was to try and clarify some things in easier terms for the less knowledgeable, and give a baseline information to learn from.
the equipment that one uses to make these connections is what determines what it is doing. you must understand that some instructions are written for a targeted audience.

there seemed to be confusion here and other places with the term "bridge" versus an access point.

so really understanding the difference between a HUB, and a SWITCH is important in the discussion of what and where the tern "bridge" comes from and what it actually is. Since these routers are routers and function as such and have built in switches ..... they are what they are. The term in the graphic that you posted is more of a genaric term defining that one part of the house is bridged to another and not associated with the technical term.

These little homeowner plug and play routers are both router and built in switch.

here is a link to Linksys discribing the setup ..

I am not trying to discredit you in any way. People are looking for a solution to there problem and or need information so they can go do there due diligence and buy what will work for them.

Not knowing your house layout, distances, number of devices that you need to hook up, wall construction, etc. I spoke too soon and i humbily apologize if i have offended/belittled you.
