Hi,
I have an area at school that I need to monitor with an IP camera. It is really hard to get a cable to.
I happen to have an old Axis IP camera that is WiFi capable, just :) it will only do 11Mbps but enough to monitor this area.
I purchased a $20 abg/n usb dongle and put it on a win7 pro work station in the next room. This is on the domain via a wired connection.
I setup the IP camera with a PSK and a fixed IP of 192.168.50.2/24
I setup the WiFi USB dongle with the PSK and fixed IP of 192.168.50.1/24
The signal strength is good. Connection is solid.
Doing this broke the wired network and it became unidentified and wouldnt communicate with anything till I reserved the IP on the DHCP server. Took it off the domain and joined it again before it was happy again.
But I still cant ping the IP camera on the ad hoc network. The network is identified as an unidentified network too.
So the workstation can now work on the domain again but the ad hoc network is dead in the water. Signal strength is good. Connection is solid.
Any ideas? I'm stumped.
