Ok, here is my setup, I have:
-HughsNet satellite internet, home plan
-HN7000S modem for HN service
-Linksys WRT54G router
-MBP C2D 2.5GHz
I'm trying to set my laptop to a static IP on my home network. When I do, I get "you are not connected to the internet" errors in Safari. I can also check iStat and it gives me two sections for airport and one seems to be frozen at the exact moment that I changed to a static IP. I know that on the home plan with HN, you cannot have a static external IP, but that is not what I'm trying to do.
I'm actually trying to get TouchPad Pro to work. I've got a no-ip server going, and i'm stuck here at the port forwarding step. I need a static IP so that I can tell the router to forward it's requests on 5900 to my laptop.
I'm following the instructions on the TPP website. I see that it mentions setting the DMZ in the DSL modem... I'm pretty sure that the HN7000S is the DSL modem in this case.
Any suggestions on this matter? I also need the IP to be static so that I can use TPP to access my iTunes from another room in my house. Thanks!
