Soundy, I drove 118 miles round trip from my home to work, in thunderstorm, to try your suggestion. IT WORKS on the my computer. I could not try the other computers because the storm knocked out electricity. THANK YOU. It has been hard on us. Our building was bought by a foreign owner who has no concept of procuring employee royalty. He has never visited our building. Our operation budget was slashed 70%. We were forced to do everything ourselves. Anything that we hire/subcontract out will effect our salary. You are a life saver. I should have taken networking classes, not classes in clown school.

Soundy, That is exactly what I would like to do to my current building. On Friday, I did the following: I changed the cisto wireless router to 172.17.1.1 and the Mobotix to 172.17.1.235 to 172.17.1.238 I plugged our current building wireless router (192.168.1.1) from port 2 to port 2 of the Cisco router. Using one of the building’s desktop that is currently working, with default - “obtain an IP address automatically”, I can use the internet. However, cannot communicate with the cameras. If I change that computer setting to ip address of 172.17.1.99, no internet. However, I can access the cameras. My question is what I do so that (5) of the desktops in the building can access the cameras while still having internet…. Much thanks for your help.

Thanks for your explanation. Can I have (2) LAN addresses within the same network? Like 192.168 for existing and configure the cisco wireless router for 172.17 for the mobotix cameras? Again, thanks to all of you, I have learned so much.

OK, just to make sure I am able to change the address of the mobotix cameras and cisco router, I spent the whole morning changing from 195.85 to 172.72. Just like before removal, I am able to retrieve the mobotix cams by typing http://172.72.1.225....

Professors and gurus, next step? Thanks

Good Morning Gentlemen: Hi. did you install the mobotix at your first location ??? do the mobotix show up at all We did not install the equipment. The computer had no internet access, only local area network. All cameras showed up when I entered http://195.185.1.225. When you moved all the cameras over to the new building, you didn't do anything to configure the routers there. So, when you try to go to http://195.85.1.225 from your 169.23.1.x subnet, the PC says "that address is not local, let me send these packets to my router so they can go to the Internet". Then, your router tries to send those packets out to where it expects that address to be (presumably the other building). But, of course the cameras are no longer there, so the whole thing fails. You basically need to re-address the cameras to have IP addresses on the subnet they are now installed on. We are 90 miles north of Houston, TX, USA. I am confused of Danisco. My error. Our current building LAN address is 192.168.1.xx range, not 169.23.1.X range. We have (4) switches and (2) wireless routers attached to this working network. So according to your suggestion, since we have internet in the current building, forget the cisco wireless router that came with the system and start addressing the cameras, qnap within the 192.168.1.xx? Basically I can't have 195.85.1.x and 192.168.1.xx within the same network? the problem will still exist with the mobotix. if the ip has changed then the mobotix will need a reset . (though engineers code) so if he did not install in the first place and does not know the password then thats going to be a problem. and if the ip checker is right above. then the camera has also not be moved from a local location but to another country. I have all the passwords to the cameras Much thanks.
