How to set a static IP on your nFusion

Once you have your router hooked up and running you need to find your IP range that your local network is on. To do this, follow these steps.

1. On your computer, go to Start, then Run, in the run box, type 'cmd'

2. Once the command prompt window opens, type 'ipconfig'

3. You will now see your network adapters listed, and under them you will see some numbers that look something like 192.168.xxx.xxx. The first number is the local IP address of your computer, the second one is your subnet mask, the third one is your gateway.

4. In the NFusion internet settings,(Internet > Network Information) you need to change the DHCP/Static setting to Static.

5. The gateway and subnet parts should be the same as what was shown on your computer, but the IP address will be something within that IP range. For example, if the IP address on your computer is 192.168.1.2, then the first 3 sets of numbers would remain the same, only the last three numbers need to be changed. Since your gateway would be 192.168.1.1 then you would need a number higher than 2, which is the number on your computer, but it can't be any higher than 255.

6. Set it to the next number higher than your PC, if that's the only other device you hook to your router. If you hook multiple devices then set it 10 or even 20 numbers higher.

7. The NFusion network settings are confusing to some, because it shows all three numbers in each set, so your IP address on the NFusion would look something like 192.168.001.003.

8. If setting the pvr address, set it to the same IP as your computer that you are recording to, which in this case would be 192.168.1.2, or 192.168.001.002 in the NFusion internet settings.
