Operating 6600M Portable w/Writelog

John K0TG

I would like to use my 6600M away from home where I have my Internet access.  I tried rigging it up at home as a  test this way.

I have a WiFi hotspot that I am going to use as the router, so that the PC will be able to get to the Internet.  

I will be connecting the radio to the WiFi hotspot using an Ethernet to WiFi adapter.

When I do this and I have the radio on the same network address range as the PC CAT cannot find the radio, even though I can ping the radio from the PC. 

What I was hoping for is that the software had a way of discovering the radio on a local network.  I thought that was how it was initially discovered.

I don't care about the radio being able to get to the Internet since the radio is right there with me, so I should not have to worry about the ports thru the NAT in the router.

What am I missing?  


Thanks es 73, John  K0TG
