Well I got it, powered it up, but when I go to
http://192.168.1.254:8000/ nothing happens.
Guess I'm not smart enough to figure this out... lol
set your computer to the same network address range like 192.168.1.99 then connect and change it to an ip address that is usable on your network range.
I assume your on windows:
first, figure out what your current network range is. open a dos prompt (start / type "cmd" press enter).
in black dos prompt window
"ipconfig /all"
look for line showing 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x that is your current ip range.
line after it should show 255.255.255.0
then default gateway 192.168.x.1 or 10.x.x.1
write down the last two lines as we will need them later.
lets assume it showed 192.168.0.105 (most routers default to 192.168.0.x range or 10.x.x.x range)
that means your router is handing out addresses above .100 and your network is 192.168.0.x (the x is for workstation)
find an empty address below 100 to use.
try "ping 192.168.0.50"
if you see "reply from " that address is in use, try another until you find one that does not receive "reply form". it may say "ping timed out" or "host not reachable".
now go to control panel / network sharing
click "change adapter settings"
in the listing select the adapter that is in use. (it will not be greyed out).
right-click, click "properties".
scroll down in the list to "internet protocol version 4"
click "properties"
in the top box, select "Use the following ip address" fill in 192.168.1.99"
for the subnet enter 255.255.255.0
then click "Ok" then "close"
now try the "192.168.1.254:8000"
set the ip address to the number you found open for example 192.168.0.50
set the subnet and gateway to the setting you wrote down from above.
update it.
now to return your computer back to its settings.
in the listing select the adapter that is in use. (it will not be greyed out).
right-click, click "properties".
scroll down in the list to "internet protocol version 4"
click "properties"
in the top box, select "Obtain an address automatically "
click "OK" then "Close"
you should now be able to use the new address you assigned to the cube.
