My system is just a regular PC Dual Core 3GHz with 2GB RAM running Windows 7 Pro, with 2 Gigabit LAN, a D-Link 1360 Access Point. There nothing else installed other than Avira Antivirius & Acrobat reader. It seems the devices were not acquiring IP Address with or without the Hotspot software installed. Does anyone having the same problem.
Also this is the post of Raytaylor on another thread that was closed.
6- If you have a wireless access point, connect it to the gateway pc via a network switching hub. You can plug other computers in at the same time and test they can get online. Check that the wireless is working also.
I was wondering why the AP has to be connected via switch and not directly to the HotSpot PC's NIC (LAN).
