    Stoker - Wireless communication without Internet

    don't be discouraged. You are playing at a level the Geek squad probably couldn't figure out! A couple of things I noticed when I was setting this up. I didn't bother flipping the ad-hoc switch on the WGA54G. There is a setting on the WGA54G config web page that I used to set that. I don't...

    Is this a good wireless bridge for the Stoker?

    25 devices??? Hmmm, when I think about it what I might have that's different is that I have the Stoker setup for a static addressing on my DHCP LAN. I have a reservation setup on the router for the stoker's MAC address so it always gets the same IP. This way I can insure that the static IP...

    Same Question Different Twist

    You are right. I read that it was discontinued in their newsletter. They might be just selling out existing stock. If you get one ask if you'll be able to get replacement probes for it in the future. Personally I would put it up for sale for $200 excluding the mount which you can use with your...

    Same Question Different Twist

    easy peasy -- pitminder is discontinued -- sorry. Get a stoker and enough probes to control both pits at once. Sell the guru. -rob

    Is this a good wireless bridge for the Stoker?

    I don't know what is meant by "music adapter". I would go with the Linksys WGA54G game adapter shown here: http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R4...ksid=m38&_nkw=WGA54G That's the one I use. Works both in ad-hoc and infrastructure so I can take it with me to comps. -rob

    All hail AMIR!

    Rob, Wise choice. Be sure to check out this thread before your first smoke: http://tvwbb.infopop.cc/eve/fo...270072103/m/86510771 Also, when you get it please post back what firmware version shipped with it. Someone just reported they were running an alpha version and StokerLog didn't work. I...

    StockerLog not working

    George, Your problem is that you are using an ALPHA version of the stoker firmware. NEVER, EVER do that! Go to http://www.kaytat.com/ and install the 2.1.300 firmware and you should be set. My guess is they changed the web UI which broke the parsing. -rob

    Stoker - Wireless communication without Internet

    This should help you. Set your main network connection to DNS and setup the alternate tab to static. http://www.home-network-help.com/set-ip.html Make sure the SSID of your as-hoc net is something different then your main net. Choose that Wifi to connnect to. Your machine will look for a DNS...

    Stoker - Wireless communication without Internet

    D. Is your laptop wireless? You are right - you need to define a static IP address on both the Stoker and your laptop. In essence, what you are doing is creating a 2 node network. This two node network doesn't have a DNS server so the devices on it need to have their IP Addresses set manually...

    Stoker questions

    And one other thing - Rock's is not big on customer service but they always pull through. If you order it on the site and ask questions via email you won't get responses. The only way to contact them is by phone. Your stuff will show up eventually - it always does. Let us know if you need...

    Stoker questions

    Chris, Yeah - what Amir said. You are confusing the terms "internet" and "network". The stoker connects up to your network which may or may not be connected to the internet. Most of them are though. If you want to connect your stoker to your network wirelessly you'll need a wireless game...

    just when i thought i had my mind made up on a stoker or digiQ2

    Buy both and see which one works better for you. I've got both a stoker and a guru competitor and they both work great. I also built out a $35 DIY unit that works pretty much like a Guru and I'll use that on the circuit as well just to prove a point. Maybe I'll start my own company and offer a...
