1385471 2014-10-02 04:35:00 Hi all, I have an Android tablet that connects to my wifi router ok, links to the pc ok, but when I try to connect between the MIT App Companion on the tablet and MIT App Inventor on my browser (FF), I have 2 different ip addresses so can't test apps.
How do I go about syncing the addresses? Cheers.

1385474 2014-10-03 07:55:00 Dunno, the PC and router number is ***.***.1.1 and and the number showing on the tablet, via the MIT app has a 4 instead of the last 1. Whenu (9358)
1385475 2014-10-03 08:27:00 Each device must have a different IP no. Quite normal to have nnn1.4 on the tablet but you are saying the PC and wireless router have the same IP no. That is not a goer.

First you have to get different IP no.s sorted. This can be done using the DHCP server on your router or by allocating no.s manually.

1.1 for your router/gateway, 1.2 for PC and 1.4 for tablet would sound much better.

Best explain what is on your network e.g. do you have an all-in-one modem/router or a separate modem and router?

1385476 2014-10-03 09:05:00 I have a nettcomm wireless router/ modem, with a lappie using wi-fi to connect to the router. Whenu (9358)
1385477 2014-10-03 20:01:00 On your pc, run the command prompt and type ipconfig then hit enter.

You will see your gateway address (xxx .1.1 probably) and your PC address. What are they? (Don't worry about hiding the first part as no one outside your network can get to these non routable addresses).
