Copied this from my tomshardware post as that place seems a little slow. hardware wise and software wise with computers I'm pretty well set off but I haven't delved much into networking, and this is one thing that is proving troublesome.
"Hey all, something which has plagued me for a long time, I have an hp proliant dl380, a sexy little quad core xeon blade server, with a wireless card in it, and two LAN ports built into the motherboard.
I also have an old AXIS 2401+ video server and a couple old CCTV cameras, and want to use one to monitor where my server is stored.
The problem lies that the only way to get to the network from my garage is wireless, and the video server will have to be in the garage with the actual server.
When connected to the main router I can (or was able to, it's been a while) get the video server page and a camera feed no problem, but when using it directly with the computer I can not access it.
I have tried direct ethernet connection, and also going through a hub (with the hub using the computer as WAN source, and using the video server as WAN source), and tried all methods bridging my wireless and wired networks, and can't get the dang thing to work.
What can I do?
edit: after a bit more fiddling I got the router working, changed it's IP over, thanfully it let me so it's alongside wireless just fine now, now I just need to get the video server to show up, I have tried it plugged in as WAN source, and alongside the server on another port, this router doesn't seem to have a device list though so trying to figure out how I can find it's IP
Basically I want to be able to forward this page or something, maybe using xampp or some other web hosting stuff. (which I can figure out"
The router I have is pretty old, I have what I think is a newer one, I'm going to crack it open and wire in a power supply with a 5 volt regulator and try that, I am going to be up all night so I might just drive on over lol.
Just wondering if anyone here has any ideas? The only thing I can think of is using a wireless router with DDWRT to act as a rebroadcasting station and maybe that will allow me to hook in with Ethernet so it shows as on the main network but I don't think that will work, and I don't have any wireless routers. as you can probably tell I'm throwing this together with scrap stuff XD
edit: yeah, this linkysys nr041 is at least 3 years newer, and has an uplink mode, maybe that will help *shrugs*
