GeepiLive doesn’t have a DHCP server built in, so you need to change your ethernet address to something that is in the same subnet. I think A&H recommends using 192.168.1.10 for an external computer, subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Easy to make the change on a Mac, just open up network preferences and enter a manual address. XP computers are fairly easy as well, Vista and Windows 7 hide stuff and make changing addresses much harder.
Another solution would be to connect a router, either wired or wireless, to your iLive, set it up with the address noted above, and don’t allow its DHCP server to assign addresses below 192.168.1.100. You should be able to connect to the router, get an address automatically, and then network with the iLive setup. Per the manual:
MixRack address defaults to 192.168.1.1 Sub mask 255.255.255.0 Surface to 192.168.1.2 TouchScreen to 192.168.1.3
We recommend you set:
Laptop 192.168.1.10 Sub mask 255.255.255.0 Router 192.168.1.245
Good luck!
