Any experts here on IP settings?

I have a friend with a Qviart Undro, searching the topic hasn't helped and since it's a Polish box sold in Spain English help is difficult.

It is an android satellite with card sharing.

The internet is supplied by a community wifi by a usb adaptor to a laptop and the sat box is connected by ethernet. I've tried making the laptop a hotspot with connectify but while it connects and says it's connected to the Nline sever it doesn't open the channels, firewall was disabled for connectify to connect.

So tried ethernet but the DHCP is problematic, sometimes windows will assign an IP sometimes it doesn't, switching on and off the IP server in the box eventually kicks it into life and connects but still no joy.

So I used a static address and now the box is connected to the laptop and it is connected to the net, the android part works fine and nline connects but still no picture, that server is working fine too. So tried to bridge the two connections but it just sets the IP on the box to zeros even when set to a static address.

I thinking a port problem which I know little about in windows, can anyone take me through it step by step without a bridge and all static IPs if possible as the community system is new and should adapt to the laptops static IP address.

When I did this before on my own and in the exact same way I set the ethernet connection's default gateway in windows to the IP address of the box, if I remember correctly which linked up the box then bridged it to the wifi network and it worked.

Can anyone help?

I suspect you choose a very complex configuration, not so easy to setup. I would look for possible different setup. Unfortunately I don't know your sat receiver, but I try to tell you some ideas. If you need wifi, I believe your receiver is too far from router and you can not connect the box directly by Ethernet cable. If so, are you sure the box has no chance to control directly any Wifi dongle? If not, look at some router supporting DD-WRT. With this firmware, you can use a common wifi router as wifi Hotspot. So, you could connect sat receiver to such a router by Ethernet cable, then use this new router to connect main home router via Wifi. Set this new router in a different subnet other than main router, and switch off all DHCP settings in the box and secondary router. Good luck.

Thanks for the reply the receiver is only a matter of feet from the laptop so signal was never an issue. With it connected by ethernet I have managed to get the free server working that comes with the box and the pay server says connected but yet doesn't clear the channels.
