ok i bought this wireless camera that has its own IP address, which i am trying to link up to my computer.
i connect the lan cable from the camera to the lan port in the linksys router. the network sign on the camera shows that it has connection.
then i am using a 'camera search' tool provided by the manufacturer off a cd-rom but it cant find it. it says that the camera is probably not properly connected to the network.
i then also used the camera control tool provided by the manufacturer and tried to find the camera from within the settings. it did find it once under 192.168.1.100 and i was able to access the camera through a browser. when trying to set it up through the browser, i was asked to type in a new IP address (as per manufacturer's manual) which i did. then the browser window closed and since then i can neither find it through the camera control tool, nor access it through the browser under its old or new IP.
anyone has any good idea what could be the problem?
