I plugged an old SMC wireless access point (SMC2655W) into my hub. According to the manual, the SMC defaults to 192.168.2.50 (I reset it to factory defaults). The subnet in my house is 192.168.116.xx. With my laptop I was able to connect to the SMC and browse the internet. I'm not an expert with routing and firewalls, but since the SMC was on a different subnet then everything else in my house, it shouldn't be able to access anything, should it? I wanted to connect to the admin interface on the SMC and configure it, so I manually changed the IP on my computer to 192.168.2.60 so it was on the same subnet as the SMC. Unfortunately, this didn't work, I was not able to access the SMC's webadmin. I can't figure out why. I normally have proxy setup on my browser via port 8080, but I turned it off for this. I tried both firefox and IE to get to SMC's webadmin. I have astaro 7.002.
