I have a boat that I'm trying to hook up with wi-fi from the marina. The gear I have is a "Rootenna", Engenius ECB-3500 bridge/access point with 12v PoE, and a HP slimline with AMD64. The output of the ECB-3500 is through a straight ethernet cable.
Here's where I've gotten to: I go into System>Preferences>Network Connections and set eth0> IPv4 Settings>Method>Manual>Add: Address 192.168.1.100, Netmask 255.255.255.0, Gateway 192.168.1.100.
Then in the URL space of FireFox I enter 192.168.1.1 and get the Engenius gui. I can make adjustments of settings such that I can "see" the surrounding signals.
When I go back to the computer and reset it to DHCP the Networking icon in the panel indicates I'm connected. It shows the signals around the my location. But I can't get out to the net.
I am not conversant with the command line. Your help please. Thank you, Doug
