I have an existing network on the range 192.168.0.X which is mixed wired and wireless connected together using a wireless router which then connects out to the internet - this all works fine.
I also have a Tivo box which is in a different room, connected to the network using a wireless router in client mode. The router is 192.168.16.254 and also runs a DHCP server and provides the Tivo box with an IP address of 192.168.16.100. The Tivo box connects out to the internet no problem.
However, I wish to connect into the Tivo box for network remote control.
I have tested this by replacing the Tivo box with a PC.
I believe the problem may be a routing issue between the 2 networks.
I have tried setting various options in the router in client mode, but really I am just guessing. I have also tried disabling the DHCP server on the router in client mode, hoping it would connect on to the DHCP server on the 192.168.0.X network.
Could someone please point me the right direction? Do I need to set routing in both places or is something else?
Thanks
Thanks for the reply, but I dont want to access the Tivo box from externally, just from the 192.168.0.X network. I dont think its a port forwarding issue more of a routing issue between networks – Andrew Hall – 2012-07-09T19:34:09.960
It explains why the Tivo box can access the internet, but you can't access the Tivo box. – LawrenceC – 2012-07-09T19:57:18.127
This answer is correct. Your response "I dont want to access the Tivo box from externally, just from the 192.168.0.X network" misses the point. He's suggesting you set up port forwarding on the router that connects the TiVo box to your own network. This has nothing whatsoever to do with anything external, which is totally managed by the other router. (You can ignore his second paragraph which only applies if you do wish to access the TiVo box from the outside.) – David Schwartz – 2012-07-09T20:56:51.127
I cant even ping the router, or a machine inside the 192.168.16.X network. Its not a port restriction or firewall issue, i cant see the network at all – Andrew Hall – 2012-07-13T19:43:18.203
I tried it as a test and it didnt work – Andrew Hall – 2012-07-13T19:53:20.357
