Hi all, not sure which forum to post this in (computing maybe?) - I'm hoping some networking gurus around here might be able to help me out.
I read that if you're using Coax to connect your FibeTV boxes up then you can plug an ethernet cable into the FibeTV STB to get internet connectivity. I tried it with my PS3 and yes indeed I can. That saves me running a separate ethernet to my bedroom. While I can access the internet from my PS3 connected this way, I can't access my home's internal network. I would like to access my home's internal network to stream my video collection to my PS3.
A little background to how the FibeTV modem is setup in relation to my home network. I have the outside Bell wire coming into the Fibe Cellpipe modem/router (I have the Bell router disabled) and its connected into the WAN port of my DLink DGL-4500 router which serves my internal home network. The Cellpipe is 192.168.2.1 while my DLink router is 192.168.0.1 - is it because they are separate that I can't talk to each other? The DLink is a better router than the Fibe Cellpipe at routing and wifi, so I only use the Cellpipe as a modem out. I can't actually access the Cellpipe 192.168.2.1 setup page from within my home network ether, I have to physically plug an ethernet wire into the Cellpipe modem to access its setup page. Is there a way to get these two routers to talk to each other? Do I increase the IP range or port forward something? I'm just not that savy with Networking - but I'm willing to learn!
Thanks,
