Connect Disklavier to Internet via crossover cable

2013-09-04 by <lawrence_chiu_tx3@...>

For those people who connect their Disklavier to the Internet, I guess many of you are using an Internet router or bridge. I was wondering if anyone has done this however since there is already a laptop connected for RemoteLive.


Let's say the laptop has a LAN port and a Wireless card, so it has two network interfaces.

The laptop is connected to the Internet via Wireless and everything is tested working.

Then you tell Windows to "Share" the wireless adapter's Internet connection and select the LAN port to bridge to it.

If you then test this by connecting a PC to it via the LAN port (the PC has no other ways to access the Internet), using an Ethernet "crossover" (usually orange color) cable, you can verify that this works just fine and the PC can get to the Internet.

Now, If you connect the crossover cable to the Disklavier, it appears that the Disklavier will get its IP address, gateway, and DNS, but for some reason, the Pocket Controller still says it has no connection to the Internet. I was wondering why this is?

Thank you.
