Solution: Cannot connect via WIFI

[amirdt]

If you have a desktop connected to the router via wire, than you can not probably see a mobile unit that is connected to the same router via WIFI.

First: how can you check if this is the problem:

• Connect your mobile to WIFI and check what is its IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.112)
• Open a command window on your PC and type: ping <unit IP> (e.g. ping 192.168.1.112)
• If ping failed - PC cant "see" the mobile unit, see solution bellow

Solution, you need to "tell" your computer that the mobile unit is NOT on the same wired network, and the PC should access the mobile unit via the router.
You do that by using the ROUTE command

• Find out what is your router IP address (e.g. 192.168.1.1)
• Open a command window as administrator (Right click on "All program->accessories->command prompt" and select "run as administrator")
• Type the command: route add <unit IP> mask 255.255.255.255 <router IP>
• Example: route add 192.168.1.112 mask 255.255.255.255 192.168.1.1

Now try the ping again. if it works, winamp should be able to find now the unit too.
