Can I use Linksys Workgroup Switch?
Hi! I've had Serviio working successfully with my LG Blue Ray player for some time - with a wired connection to another room (to my Win7/64 PC)/2-wire wifi-modem. I'm having a problem with a similarly distant Internet radio.
I have a Linksys 5-port Workgroup Switch I used to use at work, and I thought - Hey! Why not connect to IT, and then from the switch to the LG Blue Ran and the Internet Radio. But... now the Blue Ray cannot
find it's way back to the 2-wire modem & PC any more. I was wondering if the IP address got changed? (after all, it WAS formerly talking to 1 device... now potentially to 5 others?) The LG Blue ray setup
wants either a hard-coded IP address or dynamic. I tried the "old" IP address of the blue ray and the "blank" dynamic....neither works. Maybe the workgroup switch isn't even the right thing to try... I am
really pretty ignorant about how this stuff works. FYI, it is a Linksys model EZXS55W 10/100 Mbps 5-port Workgroup Switch. Any suggestions/help would be appreciated. Thanks!
