DIRECT and NETWORK Connection Methods
13
In this example, your PC connects to the InternetVue directly. The InternetVue will get internet
access from your router either through a wired or wireless connection. If the connection is wireless,
the PC2TV software will ask you to Enter the Network Key of your wireless router unless you've
already done so, or if your router does not have any encryption.
Please note: Accessing local LAN resources such as shared folders, shared printers, or shared
drives, can only be done using IP addresses, not by computer name or NetBIOS name. In the
example above, connecting to the drive array in Windows can only be done with
\\192.168.1.201. Using \\HDD_2TB will not work.
In-depth explanation of the example above:
• The InternetVue's wireless network adapter (10.119.23.1) assigns your PC's wireless card
an IP address of 10.119.23.33, creating a mini ad-hoc network between the two of them.
• The InternetVue can be connected to your router either by wired ethernet or wireless (may
require you to enter the Network Key)
• The InternetVue is assigned an IP address (192.168.1.15) by your router (192.168.1.1).
• Accessing the internet works without any issues
• Accessing local network resources requires the use of IP address in paths and
shortcuts. NetBIOS or computer names may not work, unless entries are made in local
"hosts" files.
