VPN Connection Mac to HR24-500

1685 Views 8 Replies 6 Participants Last post by  Stuart Sweet
I tried connecting my HR24 to the internet via VPN connection from my MacBook Pro. My connection coming into the Mac is from WiFi. I shared my internet in the settings via Ethernet cable and no luck. I even tried sharing it without the VPN online.

My advanced setup:
192.168.0.10
255.255.255.0
192.168.0.1
208.122.23.22 (a DNS server I have)

Any reasons why I can't connect?

Thanks

What are you attempting to do?
Connect the receiver to the internet from a VPN connection on my laptop.
Why not just get a wireless cinema connection kit from Directv?

I know there's a way to do this for free via Ethernet.

Good luck then.
[not the expert here] I think you may find it a bit hard, as it would allow streaming outside of your home network, "if you got it to work".

Sure is, run a cable from your HR to your home router.....what you are attempting won't work.
what if I run the laptop VPN connection into a extra router I got? Would that do the trick?
Folks, let's be careful here. If it looks like this thread is going to turn into a discussion of how to do things that are against your customer agreement, it will be shut down.
