OK thanks. I was not sure about that it is not routable from outside. IP is 192.168.43.9
Wow!
That is way beyond what I would have guessed. You could change the netmask so you can see the configuration page. You could also change your computer's IP address to a fixed one temporarily something like 192.168.43.8 (anything
other than 192.168.43.9) and leave the netmask at 255.255.255.0 since you will then be on the same subnet as the WLIP.
Both the netmask or IP address will be under the "Network and Sharing Center">"Change adapter settings". Click on your "Local Area Connection" icon, then the "Change settings of this connection". The "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) is the one you want. Click the properties. You can change to "Use the following IP address". If you set it to a 192.16.1.43.x address, you won't need to change the netmask.
Leave the default gateway blank.
Once Windows applies the change, try to browse to 192.168.43.9 where you should see the WLIP configuration page. Change the WLIP to get an automatic address. Afterwards, go back to the "change the settings of the connections" for the windows LAN port as above and select the "automatically" options.
You then will have to use the IP scanner again (this time restrict it to 192.168.0.0 range addresses) to find the DHCP assigned address. Don't forget to check the WLIP option for weatherlink.com uploads.
Good luck, I think you are almost there.
I think that the switch part of your router (if it has multiple ports) should allow you to do this. Otherwise, you might need to get a crossover cable if your computer does not have auto-sensing ports and connect the WLIP and computer directly together.Greg H.
