Connect to Network Camera?

[janmartin3]

Hi all,

I run Windows XP as guest on Ubuntu host.

My new network camera has the IP 192.168.10.200.

I managed to connect from the Ubuntu host, but I need Windows XP to make the proprietary Active X interface working.

In Ubuntu Host I changed the setup like this, and it worked after a restart.
Menu -> System -> Preferences -> Network Connections

Wired Tab
mark Auth eth0
Edit

IPv4 Settings tab
Method: Manual
Address 192.168.10.100
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.1

Apply

But how to connect from WinXP guest?

So far all I get is a timeout when doing RUN
ping 192.168.10.200

Thanks,
Jan

P.S.:
While writing this. I undid the changes described above to get an Internet connection again.

What is the connection mode? NAT, Bridged, Etc..
Also what is the ip address of Windows XP?
Are they all within the same IP Address scheme?
Do you have a router?

I try my very best:

Without the modifications I described above my setup look like this:
Laptop connected to FritzBox.
Camera connected to Fritzbox.
FritzBox connected to DSL modem for Internet Access.
Both Ubuntu host and WinXP guest have internet access.

However so far I only connected to the camera using a crossover cable and changes in Ubuntu Network Connections I described.

What is the connection mode? NAT, Bridged, Etc..
According to VB, Settings -> Network Adapter 1: "Attached to NAT."

Also what is the ip address of Windows XP?

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ipconfig/all

Camera is 192.168.10.200
IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.178.100
However ifconfig of the host says:
inet addr:192.168.178.24
So not?

Do you have a router?
Yes, FritzBox! Fon 7170 with 4 Ethernet ports.

OK switch to bridged mode and reconfigure, or use dhcp on everything but the camera and see if you can get to it then.

How to "reconfigure"?
Step-by-step please.

Thanks,
