Ive got a belkin wireless bridge that sits on my network with a private ip address of 192.168.11.225

if tried to configure KM to use it as follows


but its not working... , i can access the myth box from my local network but the knopmyth box can see onto the internet

Ive been using this bridge for a while without issue
and i changed my wireless router today cos it was giving to many dropouts.

now the old router was in the 192.168.2.x range so
ive had to reconfigure all my static ips to match and try to fix the interfaces file on knoppmyth

REALLY stupidly it did not backup what the interfaces file was before i started and now im not 100% certain what it had in it

should the gateway address in the interfaces file point to the ip of the bridge or the ip of my router ??

ive tried both and neither seem to work, ive also tried the reconfigured bridge with a laptop which works fine - so i think my issue much be to do with the config on knoppmyth.

I see the message
eth0: no IPv6 routers present
in dmesg - is this something to worry about

my mysql database seems to have got damaged as a result of trying to connect a newer knoppmyth frontend.

Is there any possibility that it also screwed with my network somehow ??

Im stumped and can see that mythfilldatabase has failed 4 days running, which could mean the problem was there before i changed my wireless router.

Its working now ... not 100% sure why to be honest, i set it to dhcp, rebooted and then put it back to static and it now automagically works


My suspicion is that i was tinkering around with the settings and then running

/etc/init.d/networking restart

and i think it was having mupliple entries in the route table....

but networking is defintely not my strongpoint so i could be talking nonsense !

by the way , answering my own question - it seems you configure the gateway to be the router rather than the bridge.
