my LocationFreeTV won't access the 'net.
I'm using my PSP to interface with the LFTV box. This portion of the
connection goes swimmingly, but the connection between the LFTV box and my router is hindered for some reason. I've forwarded the port (5021) and have the router operating in the DMZ. However, I need a wireless transmitter (a Linksys wireless gaming transmitter) to make the connection from the LFTV box to the router. Does the LFTV box recognize such connections? |

Hi!
However, I need a wireless transmitter (a Linksys wireless gaming transmitter) to make the connection from the LFTV box to the router. Does the LFTV box recognize such connections? I'm not sure exactly what you're trying to do, but the Linksys wireless gaming transmitter is nothing more than a "passive" device that converts data from any old wired Ethernet connection to a Wi-Fi signal. (I bought mine and use it exclusively for the purpose of connecting older computers that will never see a Wi-Fi card to a wireless network.) I would start by checking to make sure the Linksys transmitter is correctly configured and that it's getting the signal. My WGA-11b is pretty picky in certain locations. Also check to be sure that any security measures (MAC filter, WEP/WPA encryption, etc) are configured correctly on your wireless access point. Finally, check out the IP address information to be sure the device is using the right settings. In most cases you will probably use DHCP to let the device automatically request its configuration from a router/wireless access point. I don't think you'll need to mess around with the DMZ or port forwarding settings when everything is working right. William |
